This can only be described by WOW!!! You folks that have done this thing without the video, I would have to take my hat off to you. I've gained much respect for Mr. Leech. You get your money's worth on this one.

I bought The Raven about a month ago, but I didn't have enough money at the time to get the video or anything except the basic Raven. I have spent a great deal of time practicing all of the moves & perfecting them. (But I still get the magnet cought on my sleeve about 1 out of 5 times, not sure how to combat that.) I always do the vanish in long sleeved shirts, usually a sweater, but I still can't figure out how to be POSITIVE that it won't get caught up on my sleeve. I have also created a sort of empty handed verson where I show my hands to be empty before I do the vanish.

That is one place the video comes in handy. It shows a couple of pretty slick ways to show your hand empty when it is not. There are also some good suggestions on how to prevent snags and the proper ways to attach the raven. Where it cut short was using the raven wearing a T-Shirt. The funny thing about that one, was I learned how to do that from the Bat Video. At the very end of the Bat Video you are shown how to hook up the Raven wearing a T-Shirt. Go figure, huh? I'm pretty new to this stuff and I've already blasted quite few bucks at Penguin, but to get the most bang for my buck I'm sold on the Video Tutorials. If anything you get loaded up with more idea's and some proven ways to perform the tricks.

You blasted a few bucks?!?!?!!?!? I have blasted about $300 in the past 2 months! And I just put in an order for another $40 worth of stuff!!!! I am addicted to magic!!! I just need to start getting some money back for my investment.
