The Amazing Kreskin was shown on Canadian TV for a time several decades
ago. I remember watching it once and being pretty skeptical of him, as I
am of all such people. Not long later, there were rumours circulating
that he was a fake and that his signature glasses actually hid a secret
earpiece where a confederate could whisper things into his ears that let
him seem amazing.

I thought I'd mention that since no one else had.

Only time I can recall his name coming up was in regards to people who
were justifiably skeptical of his abilities.  That and lots of clips
from Youtube keeping his name alive:
