It is wonderful to see this great new award announced, and fitting that Ben should receive it, as Eugene was very high on Ben's work.

Congratulations Ben.
This sounds like a great award and it has been given to a fitting recipient.

Thank you, dear friends and colleagues. It was a totally unexpected surprise and I’ve been literally trembling ever since receiving the news yesterday from Dr. Hass.
I want to dedicate the award to all of the people I know, as well as all of the people I don’t know, who may be going through something personally stressful that I will likely never even know about, much less fully understand. You inspire me, and I think of you as heroic. Thank you to those of you who have honored me by paying attention to what I’ve been doing on magic for the past several years. There will be many new releases by me in 2019, starting with my new 500-page hardcover book, “Truth Fables — The Mental Mysteries of Ben Blau”. Next up is a video project I’m calling “T’woo”. It’s an exploration of some possible variations on the classic mental packet trick by Phil Goldstein called “B’wave”. I have several presentational as well as methodological variations of that routine that may be of interest to some. Anyway, thank you all for the vote of confidence. I really hope you love what I’ve been working on since my last major release. It’s very much in the “Ben Blau” style, if that appeals to you. I hope it does, and that you come away from the experience having gained far more than you were expecting. Yours in magic, Ben Blau

Hi Ben,
Congratulations! I'm sure Eugene is giving two thumbs-up to the selection committee Don't know how I missed the announcement before today, but just sent in my order for "Truth Fables." This will be a treat for all. Regards, Steve

I massively underestimated demand, and have had to resupply myself several times over so far to keep up. The book has already been a great success for me, and it’s not even “officially” released yet! If anyone wants to have a copy before it’s in stores, the only way to get it at the moment is through my website. I have a private Facebook group too, in case anyone wants to read feedback so far.

Well deserved recognition for Ben Blau. I am just part way in to reading Truth Fables (TF) - classic Ben Blau, and therefor awesome. It has the same great feel as Asymptotes (Ben's first book), and I am sure I'll find as much great and workable material as I did in Ben's first book. Thank you, Ben!
