R.I.P. Hans Moretti

[@kevindavidge]

I remember Hans being a regular guest on the show and he delivered the goods every time. I thoroughly enjoyed his acts.

THANKS for these great and lovely little storys about this two wonderful people! I assisted them between 1992 and 1999 and it was a great pleasure

RIP Hans.I always remember the one on Paul's show where Hans climbed into a sort of steel ball and somehow rolled himself up a kind of Helter Skelter with tracks just wide enough to take the ball,brilliant!!

That's a wonderful tribute, Mr D. I vividly remember the first time I saw him on your TV show, when he performed The Crossbow Escape. The tension building as he struggled to get out of the restraints before the 2 crossbows automatically fired after 90 seconds. Wonderful stuff. He will be sadly missed but never forgotten.

Great story Paul, I have fond memories of the show and always enjoyed Hans Moretti, a great showman and fantastic performer

[@docbrown1972]

One of the greats. So sad. Glad that Paul Daniels saw the abilities and gave him a spot on the show.

[@petemarr824]

Oh no :( As a child watching your show I remember the great acts of Hans. He half scared me as well as being in awe of him Hope all is well Paul.

Nice little tribute to Hans. He will be missed. I first saw him on a T.V. show I think from Europe that was hosted by Patrick Wayne. Thanks for that little bit of info on his assistant in the suspension illusion. I didn't know it was his daughter-in-law.

[@MrBooojangles]

Sad he's died :-( I remember Hans Moretti catching the bullet in his teeth mostly but also throwing knives blindfold at Helga. He seemed to be on TV loads when I was young. I remember him on your shows, as a family we never missed The Paul Daniels Show, your tricks always left us amazed. We also went to see your son Martin do a show locally.

Lol. no. you're my childhood Hero Paul. These kids who do magic on tv today with their so called street magic, have a lot to learn. The masters of magic are ones where you can see the whole picture, such as live performers like yourself and Hans. My best wishes to you Paul, & may i say Thank you for all youve given.

No matter how many times I saw them do it; I could never understand how the hell the Morettis did that cardboard box illusion,,, fantastic!

[@oranda15]

Loved Hans. Sad loss.

[@stevenholt5692]

I always liked Hans Moretti. Health & safety would have kittens if they let him do his stunts on telly now. Him & his wife were always very entertaining. Did he not do something with a rifle as well if I mind right?

[@6RE66Y13OY]

Hans Morretti isn't dead, he wears a beret and presents Mythbusters :O)

[@6RE66Y13OY]

i remember his Bullet Guess. Live and blanks mixed in a glass then guess what would be fired from a gun, A china plate hanging with a steel plate infront of them. He was brilliant. I became a magician because of Paul Daniels The master.

[@thepauldaniels]

Great act.

[@redrik11]

I remember seeing the poles through cardboard box.. coming out with a costume change with a chicken flapping it's wings..lol

[@TheRagBag]

Haha,blimey,who was the bloke in the steel ball then?

[@thepauldaniels]

I am amazed you aren't doing that one! ROFL

[@thepauldaniels]

RE TheRagBag1 year agoin reply to Paul Daniels Haha,blimey,who was the bloke in the steel ball then?..... The name of that act was Geroku, and I thnk his real name is Peter Gatz or Katz

[@thepauldaniels]

I did laugh at that one. That wasn't Hans but I agree, he did look a lot like him. :)

[@thepauldaniels]

Regarding your last comment... are you looking for someone to blame??? :)
