I'm waiting on the DVD rather than plunk down some cash for the download version. Any idea when this one's coming out? Greg?

The way this was done, with an 'edited' video to show the effect and then you get video files that can only play on the PC you download from and then to come out with the DVD is a poor way to get consumer confidance. He should offer the DVD to those that bought the Download.

Hi Joe,
If you look at some of the other threads about COSMOS, you'll notice that I originally never intended on releasing COSMOS on DVD. Mailing a DVD is hard business, you need to have stock, worry about shipping, bad DVDs, etc . . . I have NOW decided to do a DVD just because of discussions with magic distributors and trying to expand my market. If you go to ExpertMagic.com . . . http://www.expertmagic.com/html/store/mmislead/mmislead.html You'll notice that you can buy ONE trick for the amazingly low price of $20. If you want the DVD you'll have to pay $26 . . . WOW! What a BARGAIN!? The purpose of video downloads is to give the customer immediate gratification, and to give the dealer an easy way to distribute their content. ALL magic dealers pass these savings onto the customer by offering them a lower price for the Download rather then shipping the DVD. As I've mentioned previously on this thread, I will support my customers by giving them a link to the new material that will be on the DVD. thank you, Greg Rostami |

Regarding Kjellstrom’s notes, which came from a contribution of Reinhard Müller in the German Forum ZAUBERSCHRANK let me make another note:
I can tell you that I found an earlier description of this principle, which was used in Ted Karmilovich’s "Red and Black", MAGICK page 1102 . In the book „Das Buch der Kartenkünste“ [= „Book of Cardmagic”] by Rudolf Marian, Wien 1890, p. 20 you will find „20. Von einem Kartenspiele ungesehen nach Belieben eine rothe oder schwarze herauszusuchen.“ [= To find out of a deck unseen ad lib a red or a black card”]. . Reinhard |

I am not an easy sell....but Cosmos is all that Bannanafish claims it is and more.....the effect has maximum impact and while there is one semi-bold move...specs are so stunned at the first revelation of their own perfection that any notice of the move is dissolved in their wonderment.
I have been doing OOTW for over 30 years....but now I am an enthusiastic convert to Cosmos on the basis of its impromptu delivery and unbelieveably fair handling...Absolutely wonderfully conceived Greg....what else do you have for us..........?????? |

Thank you Nighthawk,
I am so happy that you like COSMOS. Yesterday, I had the great fortune of visiting Dean Dill's Shop here in Southern California. Dean and I had such a great time exchanging magic ideas. But most of all Dean's incredible generosity with his knowledge. Thank you Dean for giving me one of my most memorable magic experiences. All the best, Greg Rostami |

I think an acurate demo of cosmos should be shown. I think the demo was very misleading. This version of OOTW may be an improvement, but it is far from what the demo shows. I wish I had that 20 dollars back.

Hey! 'Cosmos' is one of the best OOTW versions out there.

Sam you must be kidding. That or your knowledge of OOTW effects is poor.
Cosmos is an effect utilizing old principles and it is at best an average version of OOTW, not certainly one of the best versions out there. |

GEMINI Regular user WA, USA 193 Posts |
Any version of OOTW is good; provided it's played well, using a normal deck of cards!
- Sam |

PsiDroid Inner circle 2164 Posts |
Oh yeah? I agree.
So then, where your "best" definition for Cosmos went? Out of the window? |
|||||||||
GEMINI Regular user WA, USA 193 Posts |
..... But, I personally rate 'COSMOS' as the best OOTW variant - as on date!
Peace! - Sam |

Wether or not Cosmos is a good version of OOTW is a matter of debate. What isn't a matter of debate is the false advertisement (demo video) used to sell this trick.

I have to agree. I bought this and I am not unhappy (it was only $20,) but I would never trust another demo video from this seller because I could not be sure that what I was watching is what I am getting. He would have been better off to simply not provide a demo video and, instead, give just an accurate (that is the key word,) printed description of the effect. If you're afraid your demo won't fool magicians to entice them to buy it, then simply don't do one and let caveat emptor apply fairly. But, don't just create an demo that makes the trick look perfect when it is not. Years ago, Collector's Workshop did the same with their demo video making Nexus and Creation both look much better than they could possibly look in real performance.

Aside from false advertisement, I have never been emailed a link to the downloads, even after trying to contact him.
