I thought this guy was dead. But Kreskin, the mentalist, just appeared with
Huckabee on the tv show. He goes through some so called numbers game, has
the host open an envelope, which hasn't been opened for 3 months, and
miracously, the total of four alleged random numbers, add up to what he had
written down before hand.

There is only one possible way that can happen. The four people chosen from
the audience were plants. Oh and in the process of the number game, there
suddenly appears a fifth person who was nowhere in sight earliear. All she
did was give one number.

Like with so called "magic shows". The magician picks someone from the
audience. Why is it always a woman with long black hair wearing a floor
length dress? "Have we ever met?" DUhhh. yeah you idiot.

I recall seeing one magic show on tv one night. Where they made 25 show
girls disappear. When they reappeared, they were not the same ones. Like
there was a black girl in the first set that wasn't in the second set.

Now I do like the stuff for the entertainment, but not when it is obviously
staged.

I'm confused, richard ---
"four alleged random numbers" (from "four people chosen from the audience")
"add up to what he had written down before hand" (apparently 3 months
prior).
So far, so good . . .
But THEN you mention a fifth person who also gave a number.
Was it four numbers or five numbers?
Or are you maybe confusing two separate acts?

Savant does not apply here in any way, except to describe you.

Kreskin once appeared on a local cincinnati tv show. They had a 12 year old
girl stand up and he was guess to her job. Now just how many jobs can a 12
year old have anyway outside of babysitter? Since her hair was cut "page
boy" style, what does that tell you? Kreskin correctly chooses
"Congressional Page". Since the thing was staged, it would have been no
difficult thing for Kreskin to have obtained the answer before the show.

Ever watch "Crossing over"? All staged shit. As are most so called "faith
healers".

This fifth person was not seen until she was needed. There was no need for
her other than to help confuse the audience.

On a table was a fishbowl of little packets that contained a number of four
digits. Each of the four people were asked to give one of those numbers one
at a time. Total nonsense actually. Each one could have easily palmed a
packet that had the proper numbers on it. Kreskin repeated several times
"he had no control over this". Bullshit, he was in total control.

It's all about theatrics and how to dazzle the audience with your
brilliance.

Who ever said that what Kreskin did was actual magic or some form of
telepathy? He even says in his disclaimer that it isn't.

You really need to pay more attention to detail.
Distinguish between "savant" and "savant syndrome" (or "savantism").

Consider this... I just saw this and noticed a curious thing.
1. The 'random' balls Huckaby chose during the initial portion summed
to 21
2. The 'random' balls Kris chose did not sum to 21 (to throw you off,
I suppose, and make you think the bowl WAS random)
3. The 'random' balls the 4 folks chose from the bowl ALL summed to 21
AND were listed vertically on the white board. (You actually SAW these
folks pick from the bowl).
4. The other 2 balls that did NOT sum to 21 were listed horizontally
on the white board.
5. These other 2 balls were the ones that Kres told the audience
member (away from your eyes) to 'take these and pass the other one
down.' Here is the slight of hand.

If you add the numbers of these 2 control balls (3854 and 4672) to ANY
OTHER 4 RANDOM 21-SUMMING balls (eg. 9534 or 4359), listed vertically,
you will get the number listed, and 'predicted'.

Comments?


Now, if ALL balls in the bucket summed to 21, then Kreskin only had to
control 2 balls and ensure that
