Demo:

What they say:

There are those that believe The Black Widow may make many sleight of hand moves obsolete! The Black Widow was designed to do one thing very, very well. It does this one thing better than any other device or sleight of hand technique currently available.

This one thing will let you experience how it feels to effortlessly create perfect miracles!

So here's the one thing:

The Black Widow enables you to invisibly exchange objects on a spectators hand simply by waving your empty hands over the spectatorï¿½s hand!
Your hands are absolutely 100% empty immediately before and after the effect.
There is NO ditching, palming, or extra finger movements! Just a simple wave of your empty hands and the magic happens right on the spectator's open hand.

Seems impossible, but with The Black Widow the impossible easily becomes POSSIBLE! Real magic is within your reach!

$250 off penguin magic

1.5
(1=easy to do, 2=No sleights, but not so easy, 3=Some sleights used,
4=Advanced sleights used, 5=Suitable for experienced magicians only)

Great invention but very pricey. The Black Widow is practical for street preformers but i feel that I have wasted a lot of my money of this gimmick. It's easy to use and works on a simple principle.

3/10 (for the price it is)

8/10 (for under $30)

DON'T GET IT (untill it becomes cheaper) [not even if you are a professsional]

I dont understand why you would be so disapointed? if you can do what it is on the demo video then surely that is what you pay for?

i hope I'm not revealing too much but it's does the same job as the raven but without the funny moves and at the price it is ...

ill do a demo and show you

Completly different view from me. This is worth much more than the asking price, it has such a wider scope than the Raven and has many different possibilities. Another review from me when i have had time to play properly. In the right hands this gimmick blows people away. You did not mention the DVD which is high quality and easy the follow, what about the quick set-up and reset time, that was not mentioned either.

Ye - the price is a big turn-off for me as well

by **krazy ace** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:49 pm

im going to start a poll to see if people would but the black widow for the price it is.

Something tells me those long sleeves won't go away... Somehow, I simply wasn't convinced by the demo.

by **kems** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:51 pm

Its not really you start and end clean, and I dont have a raven but can you swap objects with it?

I agree the effect looks similar so maybe it would put people of? i donno

also would it impress lay people anyone more than the raven does, I dont think so...

not sure what im saying really I really like the trick will do!

by **krazy ace** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:52 pm

the sleeves have to be there.

COULD EVERYONE PLEASE VOTE !!!!!

by **Stephen Ward** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:52 pm

I would have purchased it if it was $400! worth every penny (or cent :lol:

)

by **krazy ace** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:53 pm

lol

by **Stephen Ward** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 2:57 pm

Sorry but there's no point in a Poll about whether folks would buy the item or not - they have no personal information to base a vote on until they buy it and, at the price indicated, I guess there aren't going to be all that many buyers unless they're professional performers.

by **krazy ace** » Thu Aug 03, 2006 3:17 pm

sorry about that mandrake

:cry:

Hi,

Yes you can swop objects with the Raven X2 - from takin a educated guess as to what the Black Widow is, it does seem rather expensive.

Someone tell me if its more techy (u know, more to it) than the Raven to justify the price.

Cheers
