Name: The Raven Video
Price: £13.99 ( Abrakazam.com )
Type: Coin and other Vanishes / Productions
Difficulty: 1/5
Performance Time: N/A
Examinable: N/A
Reset Time: N/A
What you Get: A video (PAL format) lasting app 33 minutes.

The recording quality is good, the performance of the instructor is a little stiff, however he seems to concentrate
purely on showing you how to use the Raven, rather than giving you loads of fluff as some other videos do.

At first I was reluctant to buy this video on top of the money that I had already spent on the Raven itself.
I was experiencing problems using the Raven to good effect (noise, snagging etc).
After looking around for advice on the net, I saw several references to this tape
and eventualy decided to give it a try.

What this tape actualy did for me was to allow me to use the Raven to its fullest effect, being able to show both
hands empty using two methods,
How to make coins appear as well as dissapear, how to set up the Raven correctly.
It was a revelation to say the least, I managed to fool people who knew about the Raven.
I also learned how to vanish other objects too.

Without this tape, my Raven would be consigned to the cupboard indefinately.

I rate this 9/10 (it would only get 10/10 if it was free <IMG SRC="http://www.magictrickshow.com/forum/clipart/smile.gif">).

If you've got a Raven get it, if you haven't then take advantage of the offer that Abrakazam does
when you get a Raven.

Tanks for the advice. I have recently brought raven myself and am having the same problems you were. I will definatly give the video a try.

Cheers!

This video is worth the money just for the short sleeve shirt explanaition and the appearing dissappearing coin effect and there is so much more if you have a raven you need this I would give it ten out of ten but then I never expect anything for nothing

I also refused to buy the raven video at first. What a big mistake that was! The picture and sound quality are good and the tips on using items other than coins are excellent. The guy was a little too cheesey, but in a good way and he explains the working of this wonder-prop in simple and effective terms. Oh, and the "empty hand" move alone justifies the small cost of this amazing video. If you have a Raven or Reel Raven, buy this video now!!
