Oh yes....I remember the day my raven arrived, I thought I was going to turn the world on fire.....the novelty will wear off - trust me on that one!

However...that is not to say that it has to become completely useless. It will be a great utility device when you are stuck with a quick and stunning vanish, etc.....

The Raven is OK, but the reset isn't easy in public. Plus I found I liked to do it short-sleeved for maximum effect, but it caught on my shirt buttons.

It also makes a noise.

Great for video or in dim light. Not so good in bright light/closeup.

I liked the presentation a lot. I also recently got a raven, and I have to admit, it is a great utility, but as mentioned, the reset is kinda poopy. Anyhow, good work, but did you experience any difficulty with your sleeves?

I have had mine for a week now, I am struggling with it a bit ...main reason is I am right handed so the opening on my shirt is wrong way for raven entry...therefore i am forced to using sleeve technique...which is what i am trying to avoid...any tips guys?

PM......I have had it explained to me a method that allows you to use it in a T-Shirt.

Other than that, practice with your left hand!

as i told to perfelti by pm, really nice performance, quite smooth i would say...

anyway yes, the raven is too noisy (same then M5 is using for vanishing objects...) but if well used it's great!


about the reset....why you need to reset? it's a VANISH, and you don't need to repeat it, it would be dangerous and useless...second tie you perform an effect people may know where to look at.

The Raven can be used by right and left handers equally well, it's not like a pen or something which requires exact dexterity - just a bit of practice.

I had a family member purchase the raven from the US and send it all the way to Bolivia, I waited about a month for it. I was quite disapointed when I got it. Maybe I just don't know how to use it, I'd really like some help with it, if anyone is willing to instruct me on how to use it correctly please send me a PM.
