I bought the Raven about a week ago and mastered it in less than 2 days. It's an incredible trick but the Deluxe Raven comes with soooooooooo much more! After showing the Raven to a friend he immediately wanted to buy it from me. I sold it and then got the Deluxe Raven. You wouldn't believe the ractions I got! The DVD is amazing and explains step by step how to perform. If you are wanting to take the Raven to the Next level DEFINITELY get the Deluxe Kit. You won't be disappointed.

I absolutely love this trick...the reactions I get are just hilarious. The one small drawback is clothing, but I already wear sweatshirts that work for the trick. I got this trick down within the hour. Thanks Penguin Magic!!!!!!

This is a great trick, i got it when i was about 10 and hated it. though recently i ordered the bat and tried the raven again. wow was i surprised i dont know what hit me but this is one the best tricks i own. i would recommend it to anyone. but if you live in a hot place like california or somthing i would not buy this:). i get so many reactions from this.

I ordered the raven and was disapointed when I opened it, but after I learned it and practiced many times on my friends, I got it down perfect. Now I am getting AMAZING REACTIONS to one of the GREATEST TRICKS in magic. You can mess up if you dont practice enought. What I say is "get it and practice it"!! Great trick a coin magician must have.

The trick is ok. Kinda hard to deal with all day but for short walk around stuff its great. really awesome vanish. the other gimmicks help a lot to make the trick better and deduct a lot of money off. The DVD is pretty pointless and not amazing. Also hard to skip around on. All in all tho it is a good trick. It is a must have in magic. Super easy to preform and requires 0 skill.

When I ordered this, I expected to get what it says it came with. I only received the nickel and the mini. No other coins were included. I did get the DVD though. Someone messed u.

I ordered this package under the assumption that I would receive what was advertised. This, unfortunately, was not the case. I was hoping to receive the steel core quarter and half dollar shim, both individually quite expensive, but was saddened to find neither in this "deluxe" kit. The Raven itself is great, but as this is my first time using Penguin Magic, I am sorely disappointed. I hope the Penguin Service will right the wrong, but some part of me doubts that this will happen. Great trick, but I'd reccomend ordering from somewhere else.

If you don't already own the Raven, then this is the best way to go. The original Raven comes with some of this stuff, but the real bonus is that you get the DVD teaching you all of the moves, and you get the steel core quarter which is crucial to the performance of the Raven. This is the best, and most visual way to vanish a coin off of a spectator's hand, or even make the coin change (from a nickel to a penny for example). If you've seen David Blaine perform this, then you'll know what a great trick it is.

I got this as a birthday gift about 3 1/2 years ago. This was "my 1st pro trick", and my favorite 'til this day. I've gotten a lot of tricks and routines since, but the RAVEN ranks as the best. The vanish is so pure and so clean, you will even fool yourself. I would recommend you buy the deluxe kit to get a good understanding on what effects and handling that's best for your routine. It's simply the best coin vanish on the market for beginners and experts. You can reset your RAVEN in 5 seconds or less. You can produce and vanish with the RAVEN. Trust me, when you first preform it for someone, they will look at you and say " how'd you do that". Don't wait to get yours, order NOW!!!!!!!
