Click here for Kreskin’s exclusive invitation for YOU to attend the convention:
KRESKIN will appear at ParaConn to meet fans, take photos, sign autographs, and he will also actually perform on the same bill as John Zaffis (as part of the after-show Saturday night).
The supernatural extravaganza will feature a plethora of fun and ghost-filled activities for all ages, of interest to the most experienced of paranormal investigators as well as the most casual fan or student of the occult and all things spooky. Along with Kreskin and John Zaffis, there are more than a dozen other guest speakers. See roster below.

Another major highlight of the weekend is the huge marketplace with vendors and exhibitors from all over the East Coast. Last year, the convention boasted 60 vendors, and this year there will be eighty!
