It does work for me after seeing John Kipping demonstrate it at VTR/SP, but
I wouldn't call it "tapping" nor use a "regular" hammer.  It's more like
some pretty stout blows with a BFH (I used a 2.5 lb mini-sledge).  All
things considered, I find it easier to use the hydraulic press (now that I
have one).  Before I got the press, I used the vice jaws.

Or this technique should work too :
