Raven

I like the raven, but, if you have smaller hands, like me, its slightly difficult to use. Although, if you work around it and find a good outfit to wear as you use it, its a terrific trick, it completely floors small groups of people and the best part is being able to show your hands empty.

The only big con of it is that its slightly herd to find objects compatable with the raven, but, when you do find an object, it will blow their minds. :D

Sorry to post on an old thread, but I just thought I would voice my comments on the raven. First things first, its not just for vanishes. Once youve got it, youll probably be able to spend endless hours thinking up new routines. It is an exelent gimmick, and although I dont use it much, I wouldnt be without it. In fact, I think I may have just found a new way to make it work on things like borrowed playing cards, that you never touch. Off to find out if I can get it to work. :D

I'm a little late here but I have to say that if you're getting a Raven then buy the DVD that goes with it. There's two empty hand moves explained on it which is worth the value alone. Chuck Leach really shows you how smooth you can look using it & that's the level you should get to before taking it to the streets. Take the time to practice & you have IMO, one of the best coin changes out there which always gets great reactions.
My last piece of advice - get yourself some nice looking shimmed coin shells as the ones supplied are a bit pony if I remember correctly.
