The man who has per- formed stunning feats of mental projections for over five decades with celebrities in countries around the world, Kreskin will be performing live in Goderich at The Livery on Saturday, Feb. 7 at 7:30 p.m. as part of the town's annual Winterfest celebra- tions. All proceeds from the event will assist the Children's Booster Club and the Livery. While he has been called a medium and even a psychic, Kreskin says he is just like most people ex- cept that he has trained his mind to tune in to intuitive clues and subtleties that most people might simply ignore. His ability to plant suggestions and influence people through extraordi- nary mental projections is uncanny. "I think it's fair to char- acterize me as a mental- ist," he said in a phone interview with Signal -Star from his office in New Jer- sey. " I am intuitive and have unusual gifts of sen- sitivity. I am also a thought reader and able to influ- FEBRuaRr Is SAVING$ MONTN!

He has been entertain- ing Canadians and audi- ences around the world with a style that exudes charm and showcases his engaging showman's flair and comedian's wit while fully involving his audi- ence in feats of mental projection. The man who has performed around the world and appeared on over 500 television shows, movies and commercials, promises that he will bring an exciting show to small- town Ontario that will amaze the audience. "I love to get out to see people and perform for live audiences," he said. "I will. be on stage for two hours with no barriers with the audience. I will be tuning in on thoughts and I can tell you that a piano plays an important role in the act and that many things will be happening. It will be hilarious and amazing and the people that will be there will see." During the program, Kreskin will involve local residents, bringing strang- ers on stage to participate in a demonstration in- volving hiding a $15,000 cheque of his own money. He will be escorted from the theatre, the cheque will be hidden from view and without any communica- tion he will return and de- termine the location of the money. "There are no gimmicks involved. I will be escorted from the theatre and won't know what is going on," he said. "I will be called back in and with no com- munication determine the location of the cheque. It's not just a game, it's expen- sive." The demonstration of his concentrative and intuitive powers has cost him over the years and he estimates that he has failed to locate the hidden cheque nine times out of about 6,000 shows. While he lays no claims to possessing psychic powers or the ability to predict the future, Kreskin suggests he has the ability to read thoughts if people use their own powers of concentration. "I can perceive people's thoughts if they concen- trate and I can tune in and respond to subtle clues," he said. "I am basically a thought reader." No stranger to Cana- dian politics or audiences, the 74 -year-old Kreskin starred in a highly -rated television series for five years that was based out of Ottawa and Toronto in the 1970s. In the late 1980s he starred in Kreskin"s Quest, a series of interna- tional syndicated specials, appeared on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, 88 times and is the au- thor of 10 books. Die main . char- acter of the Tom Hanks movie, The Great .Buck How- ard, which will be released March 20, is based on The Amaz- ing Kreskin. The Saturday eve- ning show at The Livery also features the musical stylings of the Howlin' Dog Jazz Band. Tickets are available at Ernie Kings, The Livery Box Office, The Park House or Goderich Print Shop. ATTENTION... .4N.
