The ONLY thing that the Black Widow and the Raven share is that they both have the letter 'A' in their name :lol:

Thank you, i feel better now, i bet you guys got a shock when you saw it :shock: See why i raved about it now? :lol: The price debate still ranges, for some of guys is it worth? you don't earn money from it and can get lots of tricks for the same money. So you have the problem :lol:

I thought this looked amazing when I first saw it but then I realised the price. It's pretty obviously not aimed at the likes of my poor, hobbyist self but sounds like it's built to last and so on. 8 hours you say.. SHEESH!!!

I know I don't own one so can't really comment about it too much but I dont think I'd buy one even if I was pro. It's just, after watching the rest of the original demo and a few created by people who bought it, it seems they all fairly clearly demonstrate there must be something up your sleave since the demoers wrist always comes so close to the object. Thought it might be useful for potential buyers to know if you can pull your sleave up at all to show "theres not anything there", even just a small amount!? Or is that a no go area.
I suppose it's noticable in the demo because you basically watch the same method time and time again so it's easy to pick up on and in a real world situation this wouldn't be the case. The doubt still remains in my head though since the potential for someone to notice is presumably still there... I know theres always that risk with magic and that's part of what makes it fun in some ways but for £150-£200 I think I'd personally like to have some assurances :P

I'm not looking to buy one of these. I just thought it would be a point potential buyers might be interested in.
Thansk.

You can roll your sleeves up, all taught on the DVD

it looks a bit funny if you roll your sleeves up after you've done the trick rather than while you are doing it.

of course it's a real black widow spider...you attach it to your wrist with some mint sauce...

...spiders love mint sauce...then its just a question of training the spider to do your bidding telepathically....easy...

ask a silly question, get a silly answer...

Getting bit is fun only if you can get the right person to suck out the poison :wink:

Especially if you get bit down below and have an attractive lady present :P
