There's not really that much to review, assuming that you know what it does......... This info is available on most magic web sites without revealing what the Raven is.
The Raven comes in a box with some reasonably printed instructions and everything that you need to get it set up. In the X2 version you get some basic American coin shells but there are plenty of pplaces that sell shell sets for UK coins.
Overall, the Raven is one of those utilities that you either love or hate in my opinion. I got one for a pressie a couple of years ago and only played with it for a few days before putting it away. I only got it back out again before Xmas to experiment with and it's back in it's box again. I think that you will find that as experience grows you will perhaps use it less and less in favour or more real sleight of hand.

It's not really an optical illusion - it just looks like one!
