The Raven question

Postby vdave3000 » Jan 31st, '07, 22:37



hey.. just bought 1 the other day! and for this trick 2 me 12 years old.. man its golden!!.. 1 thing though.. Without trying 2 give anything away.. for those who know the mechanics and what not.. i would love to use a proper coin.. like a 1 penny :) borrowed from some1.. the problems are.. that when i do it.. its very.. Noisy. because the coin is alot heaver than the gimmicked ones you can buy... and secondly.. i loooooveee showing my hands empty and bringing the coin back into my hand.. have u ever tried 2 do that with an ordinary 1p.. its soooo hard 2.. well GRRR.. cant give it away but.. get it back into my hand if u know what i mean :)

ANY IDEAS how i can make this more easy :) Thanks

it should work fine with a uk 1p or 2p.... are you meaning a UK penny? Plus you could cover the "thing" with some material....

It fairly easy to show your hands empty when using the raven, I worked out a method for doing it but I also heard that the raven DVD has a method on it too.

The best way to make the coin reappear is to rub your hands together, it should be easy to reappear it then.

As for the noise, play with speeds and distances that you perform the trick (if you know what I mean). THey can have quite an effect on the noise, there will always be some noise but it's easily coverable with some well timed patter.
