Mentalism from Copenhagen - New Routines with Classic Ideas by Dennis Hermanzo. This is a book several years in the making. The concepts are clear, concise and easy to execute.
If you are not familiar with Dennis, do not let this deter you. Dennis is a very well studied, and honed performer. In his own words:"There are 19 effects in the book! (197 pages) Every effect in this book has been performed many times in real situations, except one! Using classic principles is why they work. I have learned from the best, Bob Cassidy, Richard Osterlind and Banachek. Their work inspired my life and set a blueprint for my years in this wonderful world of Mentalism."

Mr. Dennis Hermanzo's book really surprised me. I was very happy to see his use of traditional methods in very straight-forward effects that are really worth doing! Dennis explains each routine in nice and direct terms using only the minimal amount of suggested patter sot hat you can get straight to it and learn the material! As a person who has performed most of my life, I like to think I can recognize good work - this is 'good work!' You won't go wrong with this book. It is packed with good usable stage mentalism.Richard Osterlind
Dennis has done an excellent job selecting some of the best mentalism. Even better he serves them up in an easy digestible manner allowing one to go from reading to performance in record time.Neal Scryer
Very practical effects that I loved. A nice change to find a book filled with real world routines rather than pipe dreams.Paul Romhany
I like your approach, nice and direct. This book is the proof that classics can be absolutely modern if used in the right way.Luca Volpe
Dennis Hermanzo has for years been a secret treasure in Denmark. Direct, not complicated, entertaining mentalism-Scandinavian styleSteen Pegani
Worst book I've ever bought...Maybe I'm just over reacting, but somehow I had high expectations and at the end it was just disappointing.We'll leave aside the visual quality of the book (197 pages written in a font size big enough to be read from the International Space Station, and full of useless pages and images) because there are ugly books with awesome material.It contains 19 effects, most of them are based on either equivoque, a switch somewhere in the effect, or multiple outs.The effects are described with minimal presentation: no good premises, no interesting script hooks, nothing useful at all on the scripting side of it.The methods are sometimes really bad versions of things that already exist, other times they have uncoherent parts/move that I'm sure would look really strange to lay people (and probably would give Darwin Ortiz a heart attack), and most times the title of the effect doesn't have anything to do with what you find there:- A version of Bob Cassidy's Diary Trick that doesn't even use a diary?? (It's really just a reduced version of Kenton's Kolossal Killer)- An Add a number effect in which the method has nothing to do with the adding of the numbers?I don't know... It's a reaaaally weird book... Unfortunately, I also have his other books Mentalized and A State of Mind on my shelf to be read, so I have a painful future to live (or maybe they really surprise me this time)
