Can't speak on the pricing issue, but must say.....I ordered one years but don't find I use it anymore.....It has its purpose, but learning some good coin sleights (JB Bobo book for example) is far more useful in general...spend the money in the book, that is my opinion!

buy the sms system instead all the benefits of the raven without the hassle of organic anchore points. :wink: :wink:

the raven is good however I feel it is good for club use so you can muffle the sound hopefully didn't give to much away. Its not loud however it can be lowered so it is not heard to much. But they are great and after you did it once it takes a couple minutes to want to do it again. just cause you have to get everything right its a good effect though.

i just bought a raven and i am quite happy with it although it does take quite long to set up but the effect is worth it. i got mine from prudoe magic it was an ebay shop and cost £14 plus £2 p&p, that was the cheapest i found on the internet but maybe you can scout around and find cheaper?

I personally don't like it, I found quite good fun to start with but after not all that long I got fed up with the hassle of it and it slowly sank to the bottom of my magic drawer, never to surface again.

I ended up giving it away a couple of months ago. I personally think you'd be better opff spending the money on a good book of coin techniques, something like Bobo.

There has been much talk on this forum about the Raven, many people (including myself) got one, used it a few times and then either sold it or keep it in the cupboard. I don't like it at all to be honest.

Raven is great fun at the beginning. Nothing however beats a good retention vanish.
