"The Bat is the tool that gets me into my spectators' heads... they can't just move on to the next effect. They're stuck in the moment... and still talking about it after the show." -- Maxwell Murphy, Penguin Magic

Using your psychic powers, your will make two 'brass' rings cling together. Spin the lower ring, then hand everything to a spectator....the rings will not adhere!

The secret
The ability to perform many high-impact effects with this ingenious device for years to come
Manufacturer Says In the summer of '94 we released the RAVEN, a unique prop that allows one to visually vanish and appear coins & other small objects, barehanded, in a short sleeved shirt or coat.
The BAT is a second, and an entirely different method for the visual vanish. In addition, the Bat allows you to accomplish an exciting array of additional magic.
The effects range from puzzling table stunts, to convincing psychic effects. Most notable is a clever method for performing the kinetic rings. Whether you are a casual magic enthusiast, or a working professional, you will find many uses for the BAT.
FAQ Q: Which do you recommend more highly... The Bat or The Raven?
A: Both The Bat and The Raven are fantastic additions to any close-up, street, or coin performer's collection. While you can vanish coins with both tools, they are two very different birds. The Raven is the ultimate tool for achieving visual vanishes. The Bat is optimized to cling un-noticed to your body as you perform a wide variety of effects.
Whether you decide to go with The Bat, The Raven, or both, we recommend adding The Bat and or Raven videos to your order. The videos will ensure that you get the full performance value out of each effect.

I wasn't a fan. It was pretty badly made and feels awwkard when you use it. Plus it's very heavy for a little gimmick. THe rings that were included weren't good and it didn't include a shim coin. THe instructions were pretty basic but didn't explain much and the instructional video teaches something about it wrong. I wouldn't suggest buying it

The BAT
[Verified buyer] by Anonymous from St Louis, MO on 12/26/2007 21:05:15
Great device. In a nutshell, it's a less powerful M5. It's great that you can stop time (a watch), move objects, perform PK type tricks while appearing clean the whole time. Totally mystifies people. The learning curve is nil. If you use a PK ring, you'll like this. You can also do vanishes, but I perfer slieght if hand or the Raven. I'm tempted to get a second one just for the ease of maximumizing all the effects without repositioning.
Can't be the WOW factor, ease of handling, and difficulty of beings discovered for the bucks. ADD IT NOW or get one soon.

... But I prefer the raven

If you have to buy only one of two then go for the raven... with it many effects in the trailer of the bat can be performed with the raven.
The bat is noisy for vanishes. (Except for a dime?)
If you buy it dont keep the raven and bat at the same place. Maybe I'm imagining things but the ring effect seems harder to produce since I kept them at the same place for some time.
Buy the bat if you want to performe telekinetic effects or that penny standing one on top of the other. Don't buy it if you solely plan to use it to vanish coins with your hands.
Morover the bat is a strong tool. Use it cautiously. It is also a versatile tool if you take the time to use it not in the most obvious way. Buy Alexander De Cova's 3 DVDs called Treasures for more ideas.
As I said about the raven, this item's range of use can be widened with PK Putty available at penguin magic at a very reasonable price.

Love this!

I was absolutley flaming when I got this. I mean I was so mad for spending my money on this, and having it not work. I read through the instructions and everything too. But then all of a sudden, it came to me. I don't know what I did differently, but the Bat is amazing. If you like the PK rings, get this too! My friend and I made up a whole routine, completly on the spot last night for a small crowd of people. They loved it.
and share your thoughts with other magicians!
