During the course of his career he won many awards, including the Grand Illusions award of the FISM (Fédération Internationale des Sociétés Magiques) in 1976 for a routine in which he escaped, unharmed and having changed into a clown costume, from a box through which swords had been thrust by members of the audience, and the Mentalism Award of the FISM in 1979, for a routine in which he played Russian roulette with two loaded revolvers. He was a Member of the Inner Magic Circle with Gold Star,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Hans Moretti – Broken Wand )〕 and was appointed to the Order of Merit of the Federal Republic of Germany in recognition of his achievements.
