SI: You must know how this Q&A will turn out....

Kreskin: [Laughs.] Yes.

SI: Can you give us the winner of the NCAA tournament?

Kreskin: I'm going on ESPN on Tuesday, where I'm going to write down the name of the team that I feel will win and seal my pick in a package, which will be put in a safe. How certain will I be? Ninety-nine percent.

SI: How do you arrive at the winner?

Kreskin: I read a lot of information, then intuitively try to listen to what my unconscious mind tells me.

SI: You're a lifelong Yankees fan. What will happen with them this year?

SI: Will Alex Rodriguez and Derek Jeter get along?
