Dennis Hermanzo - The Mystery Man

“I will say that now this tome in front of me, my mind is blown. Dennis really is clever in the best sense too – not in a ‘ha-ha I fooled you’ way - like a brilliant lawyer he draws you in and then it’s too late for anyone to backtrack.” - Marc Salem 

“There’s so much to like about this book – the character of the Mystery Man, the essays, the charming stories that Dennis uses to describe the effects, the originality of the effects themselves, and the practicality and relative ease of the methods. Dennis’ instructions are excellent, and it was easy to visualize him performing the different effects. Even better, I could see myself performing most of them, too. I haven’t, for instance, done a headline prediction in years, but after reading the two excellent versions in this book, I’m already looking for an opportunity to perform them. This book is full of effects that made me pause to wonder where and when I’d be able to present them. After finishing The Mystery Man, I read all the stories again for the pure pleasure of it. This is a wonderful book, and the production is superb, too. To top it off, the layout and illustrations are excellent, and the cover is a work of art.” - Richard Webster

“I’ve been eagerly awaiting this book and was not disappointed. It features more of Dennis’ classic style of mentalism and is full of fantastic content that you can add immediately to your own repertoire. I can tell you right now, if you perform routines from this book you will be seen, as a real MYSTERY MAN too!” - Luca Volpe

“Back in 2016 a fellow named Dennis Hermanzo sent me a book called ‘Mentalism from Copenhagen.’ I was delighted with the contents as he used classic methods in a variety of ways to create new and exciting Mentalism effects all based on established principles. I gave it a very good review. Now Dennis has a new book called ‘The Mystery Man’ and I am no less thrilled. Within this 275-page book you will find excellent material that uses traditional techniques that have been time-tested over the years to create fresh and intriguing presentation pieces. What’s more, you can take these effects and easily weave them into your own performing style as they all use universal methodologies. Dennis also offers his own idea on the philosophy of Mentalism along with some great chapters on presentation. Like his first book, I highly recommend ‘The Mystery Man.” - Richard Osterlind
