The Amazing Kreskin Selects New York PR Agency WORKHOUSE as A.O.R

April 7, 2011 - PRLog -- WORKHOUSE (workhousepr.com), one of the countries leading public relations and integrated creative agencies, today announced that it has been selected by The Amazing Kreskin as A.O.R. The Amazing Kreskin has become a household name, from the hard news formats of ABC and Fox News heartland to the ingenious madcap of David Letterman and the outrageous humor of Howard Stern. It is no wonder why for the past eleven years his face has been seen annually on CNN on New Year's Day to discuss his predictions for the months to come. Workhouse will develop integrated promotional campaigns that synchronize communication efforts for Kreskin’s commercial projects and will execute a comprehensive public relations plan for domestic publicity and special events.

Possessing a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit, and the capacities of a bona fide Mentalist or thought reader, The Amazing Kreskin has, for some six decades, dramatized the unique facets of the human mind. His very name has become an integral part of pop culture throughout the world, invoked in comedy clubs, comic strips, print stories, and TV shows from sitcoms on through national magazines.    

The Amazing Kreskin states “Workhouse PR firm is a dynamic, cutting-edge agency that thinks out of the box, just like I do".  
       
" I am enormously thrilled and honored to begin a partnership between The Amazing Kreskin and Workouse,” said Adam Nelson, CEO of Workhouse. “This is an amazing opportunity to elevate one of the world’s greatest performers. As long time Kreskin enthusiasts, we are simply thrilled to work with this legendary and creative futurist and look forward to supporting his awe inspiring predictions and discoveries upon the road ahead.”

Born in Montclair, New Jersey, it was during the childhood game “hot and cold” that Kreskin’s remarkable ability to find hidden objects emerged. His ability to read thoughts expanded, and by his teens he also became nationally recognized in the United States as “The World’s Youngest Hypnotist”, resulting in his collaborating in psychological clinical studies extending into the realm of Parapsychology and the Power of Suggestion. By his late teens, this icon of thought transference developed a mental test that has become the highlight of his performances all over the world. This signature piece has Kreskin requesting that his check be hidden somewhere within the venue he is appearing. If he fails to find it, he will forfeit his fee.        

Through the decades, audiences of all ages have been drawn to this legendary figure.  How many other celebrities can boast their own television series, their own board game, over some sixteen books, their own theme song arranged by the renowned Skitch Henderson at Carnegie Hall, let alone hundreds of appearances on almost every talk/variety show to be had. His performances have been seen all over the world, and he has flown over 3 million miles.

The Amazing Kreskin has also become a training consultant to law enforcement and security personnel throughout the western world in the development in their own powers of observation and intuitive skills. Kreskin continues to offer “$50,000 to anybody that can prove that he employs paid secret assistants or confederates in any phase of his program”. It is an offer that he has held for many, many years.

In Canada, one month before a national election, he predicted the re-election of Prime Minister Martin, and named the exact amount of seats he would carry. On the day after the election, on National Canadian Television, he reflected that the government could collapse in 14 months. He was off by 5 days. He has been called by many the Nostradamus of the twentieth century.

Actor/Producer Tom Hanks announced March 20, 2009 to be the debut of a feature film, The Great Buck Howard, starring Tom Hanks and John Malkovich. It is announced at the end of the movie that the inspiration for the key character of the screenplay is The Amazing Kreskin, the character played by John Malkovich.
