Help with the Raven

Postby Maloney » Aug 23rd, '07, 22:53



Hey, i am new here and i was wondering if anybody could help me with The Raven. Before you do the trick, how do you show your hands empty and then do the effect if you know what i mean. Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hey there Maloney, just a tip, if you post an Introduction, then poeple may reply to your posts a bit more (just to say hello and to introduce yourself to the guys and gals here on the forum)

Anyways, its all explained in the Raven instructions - I only purchased the cheap raven, but I belive they sell ravens with tutorial DVD's now - they explain much better how to use the Raven to its full potential.
I dont use mine as much as I would have hoped, but with practice its a mind blowing trick.

[btw - where did you get your raven? it should come with VERY clear instructions on how to use it and should come with a sugestive routine, which shows your hands empty before AND after the trick]

At the moment, you come across as someone who is fishing to find out how the Raven works as the answer should be obvious if you have bought one and unpacked it.

The instructions that you get are very clear and will explain this with photographs.

To be clear the raven doesnt come with instructions on how to show your hands empty before a vanish. This is explained on the companion raven dvd.

They really did squeeze you on this one. First you buy the raven then you get the dvd then you need "extras" the entire package could set you back £80!

Compare this to Bobo, the value of that book is pretty astonishing :idea:
