Imagine the power of this awesome effect: You show a coin and place it on your spectator's hand. With complete confidence you wave your hand (fingers open) over the coin...

The coin vanishes right before the spectator's eyes in one of the most visual moments in all of magic. The best part is, your hands can be shown completely clean!

No sleights, no odd moves. This is truly one of the best investments in all of street magic.

It works with many different objects, not just coins. And in addition to vanishes, you can make one object turn into another object, or shrink a coin into a miniature-sized coin. Many additional effects are possible with bills, matchbooks, and playing cards.

Why we Love it

  • It looks like real magic.
  • It's a professional effect that's easy to perform
  • We love blowing away other magicians when we perform the Raven in short sleeves!
  • It's a great investment because many other effects become possible when you own the Raven.

This is The Original Raven by Chuck Leach.

The Raven Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 14th, 2019
This is actually the second one I purchased. The first one is permanently in my jacket. This one I am going to use when I am in short sleeves. Since I live in South Florida I perform in short sleeves a lot. Buying a second one should just about sum it up on how good this is. I love it and it is a killer close up.

What the...? Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on December 15th, 2019
This little gem amazes every time! I am NOT a master of legerdemain, but after about an hour of practice I can now make coins and other objects disappear out of the hands of my spectator/victims! I love it; they love it! Win/win!

Great but loud Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 25th, 2020
The raven is amazing, easy to use, simple set up, amazing tricks.
The only down side is, beginners may have issues with noise.
It’s loud. Best reserved for video or a very loud environment.
Experienced magicians will know how to combat the sound and perform it anywhere.

great product!

Fantastic Instruction for a Classic Tool Report this review
Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on November 21st, 2019
(This review is for The Raven)
The Raven is an awesome device. Like many, I've been aware of it since that first David Blaine special where he made the coin vanish from the kid's hand, and have had one for many years. It's great to see it back in action with this new instruction.

The new video from Nick Locapo truly illustrates the versatility and real-world usefulness of this gimmick. Not only does he cover 3 ways to hook up the device, he teaches effects with coins, paper money, paperclips, cards, salt shakers, bottle caps, shot glasses, and more.

A few of the effects are best suited for video, but Nick covers a lot of great effects and tips for performing in the real world as well, accompanied by live performance videos.

Never has "limited only by your imagination" felt more true.

If you've never owned a Raven, you'll want this package. If you've had a Raven sitting in your drawer for years, get the video. It'll make you want to dust it off and start blowing minds.

Weaker than I remember. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on August 12th, 2020
I have always loved this gimmick so I purchased it again. To me it felt weaker than I remembered. Have to be real close for quarter sized objects.

Great except... Report this review

Great. It works as advertised. Only thing is make sure you have a shirt with decently big sleeves.

uncomfortable for me Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on February 18th, 2022
Personally, I think the gimmick is clumsy, uncomfortable, and its annoying that you have to make a lot of the preparation of the gimmick by yourself . But maybe for others, it worked out well...

Great idea, not for me. Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on May 9th, 2021
(This review is for The Raven)
This trick is very smart, it works as I expected, but laymen would probably never figure it out as long as you used it wisely. The only problem for me is the handling in short sleeves. As someone who only ever wears a T-shirt and shorts the handling for this just wasn't my thing (especially seeing as my friends watch my every move the minute I bring out a deck of cards.) I would recommend this for people who wear jackets a lot. Overall a smart trick, just not my thing.

Too much overhead Report this review
Verified buyer Pro Privacy ON (login to see reviewer names) on January 9th, 2022
Like so many marketed effects the video is great. In practice, application seems quite limited. There are many better, and simpler ways to do vanishes and transformations. Raven might be a useful solution for a particular routine, but in most situations the costs seem to outweigh the benefits.
