Kreskin Reality Show

Kreskin According to a recent interview on Monsters and Critics the Amazing Kreskin is working on a new reality show where he uses his mentalist skills to help the US police force with unsolved cases.

With a working title of “POI: Persons of Interest” the premise of the series bears more than a little resemblance to Warner’s new pilot “The Mentalist” and “follows the work of Kreskin as he assists law enforcement in gathering information that may solve open missing-persons or criminal cases.”

He goes on to say:

My involvement as a consultant in law enforcement goes back 30-40 years. I just kept this a secret because as a personal entertainer who spent my life reading the thoughts of members of my audience and appearing on television… I felt that this other life of mine was not to be part of my performing area or show business. For years, police investigators have come to me inquiring as to whether I could further heighten recall of details by witnesses of crimes to get a clearer picture of what is going on. But understand it had to be made clear by me when the initial inquiries came about that I am not a psychic, and I don’t talk to the dead, and so on.

Quite how mentalist techniques can help law enforcement is beyond the wit of Sanders The Great, but I sincerely hope the pilot airs and we can judge how real the reality show is for ourselves.
