The prominent mentalist known as "The Amazing Kreskin" predicted the Seattle Seahawks' blow-out win over the Denver Broncos in the 2014 Super Bowl -- and was only off the final score by one point.

Kreskin, who gained notoriety in the 1970s, at one time had his own television show and has been a regular guest on late-night talk shows and news programs ever since, was reportedly asked by NJ.com -- an online platform for news about New Jersey -- to provide a Super Bowl prediction last Friday and then reveal it after the game, according to a report on foxsports.com.

The awaited unveiling was supposed to happen Monday, but the winter snowfall that blanketed the New Jersey region, delayed Kreskin's latest moment of mystic truth until Tuesday.

And maybe the extra 24 hours was what the universe needed to get all the numbers aligned nearly perfectly, because when the box Kreskin had deposited the prediction into was finally opened under the glare of cynical media lights, it was found he'd not only picked Seattle to win, but win big. Really big.

Kreskin, said the foxsports.com story, had predicted the Seahawks would trounce the record-setting Broncos and their esteemed quarterback Peyton Manning by a seemingly unbelievable 43-9 final score.

The actual final score, of course, was 43-8.

In addition to that jaw-dropping accuracy, Kreskin predicted one player from the Seahawks would make a big play and end up being honored for it after the match.

Kreskin explained before the game he'd written down the name "M. Smith."

And, immediately after the game's final ticks, NFL officials named Seattle linebacker Malcolm Smith -- M. Smith for those keeping track at home -- Super Bowl MVP, after he returned an interception for a touchdown.

"My people gave me a list of key names, and he wasn't even there on the list," Kreskin said in an interview after the prediction reveal. "Something kept obsessing me about this."

A video posted at foxsports.com shows Kreskin writing down his predictions and then locking them in separate boxes, which weren't opened until Tuesday.

And, he purportedly didn't even want to touch the boxes as they were opened, in order to avoid any type of suspicion he was somehow rigging the answers.

So, it seems Seattle's victory was written in the stars. Or not.

At least The Amazing Kreskin really knows how to make it look that way.
