- Steve Forte

"Check out what Steve Forte said about this book!"

Congratulations Denis!

I just loved your Magic on Tap DVDs (my review is posted elsewhere on the Genii Forum here), so it's great to hear that you've released another book.

Herbert The Trained Rubber Band has become an internet celebrity in his own right, so I'm sure many will be pleased to see that he's learned a new trick too ("Haunted Herbert")!

[Denis Behr]

Yes, he did! I actually just uploaded a demo of Herbert doing his old and new thing. It is from one of the shows I filmed at the Magic Castle a few weeks ago: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vIjxeu31jzA

To Denis: What a beautiful routine! The second phase is a wonderful addition, and is a stunningly visual piece that feels truly magical. Congratulations!

To Herbert: Very well done, Herbert! It must be nice for you to have a skilled assistant like Denis Behr, but it's just obvious that you are doing all the work here. Only one piece of advice: be careful with your womanizing, because it's not the wisest to get so clingy with a woman you're meeting for the very first time!

To readers: Of course you'll just have to watch the video clip to understand my advice for Herbert!

I already found a first correction... it is for something that is not even used anywhere in the book, but only referenced as a side-note. I now found a much earlier citation for it. (Wish I had found it some months ago...) If you have the book, you might want to check it out: https://www.denisbehr.de/hcm/HCM3%20Errata%20Sheet.pdf

I am enjoying this book along with all of Denis' others.

Totally worth it.
