Amazon.ca (the Canadian branch, since this is a Canada-specific release) now has a a pre-order listing for The Best Moments of The Amazing Kreskin. The release date is April 18th, with a list price of CA$35.95 (but Amazon.ca discounts it to CA$25.17). Kreskin, as you know, has delighted American audiences on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, and on David Letterman as well. Here is VEI's back-of-the-box description of the release, plus the front and rear package art:
With a showman’s flair, a comedian’s wit and capacities of a bona fide Mentalist, The Amazing Kreskin has dramatized the unique power of the human mind for over five decades. His moniker has become an integral part of pop culture, with numerous appearances and references in television, newspapers, commercials and films, as well as a hectic tour schedule that has included performances for the likes of royalty and presidential families.
After several notable guest spots on the most popular talk shows of the day (including The Tonight Show starring Johnny Carson - a record 88 times!), Kreskin created his own television program. Debuting in 1971 and running for close to seven years the popular Mentalist dazzled millions of viewers weekly with his aptly named series: The Amazing World of Kreskin. Even Kreskin could not foresee that his show would become the second highest rated television program in Canada (second only to Hockey Night In Canada!), be syndicated across America and around the globe and even dubbed into Japanese!
Now, for the first time on home video, the most memorable and mesmerizing highlights from The Amazing World of Kreskin are presented in this triple DVD set. Kreskin enthralls viewers with his extraordinary mental prowess through dramatic thought-reading tests, experiments in mental perception and his ability to utilize the “power of suggestion” in wild and hilarious ways. Marvel at Kreskin’s mental feats of the week while he mingles with the studio audience and his celebrity guests including Lynn Redgrave, Virginia Graham, Robert Vaughn, Loretta Swit, Dr. Joyce Brothers, Nipsey Russell, Patrick MacNee, Al Waxman and the Penthouse Pets.
The Limited ESP Board Game Edition includes:
10 classic episodes from The Amazing World of Kreskin hand picked by the series’ producers and Kreskin himself.
Over 30 minutes of newly edited bonus Kreskin moments from the producers’ vaults.
A commentary on the series by Kreskin.
A collectable replica of the vintage board game ‘Kreskin’s ESP’ which sold a million units in its first year on the market. Included are the game board, instruction booklet and gemstone pendulum with metal chain. You now can tap into your Extra Sensory Perception and host your very own Kreskin ESP Party!
