BTW, I just got a review of one of my products by a reviewer who has never seen or tried my product, and then suggested a different product which hasn't even been released!?!?
Again some reviewers are irresponsible and unprofessional, while others like worldmagic are the real deal! Coz |

How long is the dvd, are there various routines explained on the dvd?

Cosmo Solano Elite user Colorado 410 Posts |
The dvd has a few handlings and ideas. The effect is pretty much they give you an amount, and you pull that amount out of your pocket!
I believe the DVD is about 35 minutes long. Coz |

Quick note to anyone out there!
I've recently hired a guy (a nephew) to help me out and he made a mess of things, I had to "let him go", and it wasn't pretty. I have come to find out he's since sabotaged my email, and a few other things, thankfully he didn't have my paypal password etc. If you've been trying to contact me, or sent me an email to the "sales@cosmosolano.com" or any "sales@" emails to me, (the site email form) please pm me here on the Café, the site email is now working, but my inbox, outbox, trash, everything is wiped out.) this may have effected some shipments as well, but mostly any that weren't done through the site, such as orders etc. Bottom line if you are "waiting" to hear from me for more than a day or so, please let me know! I usually answer within hours so if you've waited more than say, a weekend chances are I never got your message. I'll be sending this message to my entire database as well... Sorry to use this forum for this, but I know that most of my customers are Café members... Coz |

Canadian coins are not problem, the magnets have been moved out of "harm's way" .
In fact the magnet issue was very early on, and because of the New Zealand coins I became aware of the problem, but again it was fixed a long time ago, I beleive Any has had his quite a while... thanks! Coz |

I haven't heard anything from Cozmo either. I actually joined The Café because it seemed like the only way to reach him.
I ordered International Pocket Change from Cozmo on April 11th and it has not arrived. Everyone has talked about his excellent customer service, so I wonder what is going on? Adam |

Hey guys, sent out emails to you regarding my "disappearance" to those of you concerned or affected..

I just received Cosmo's updated International Pocket Change. He completely redesigned it and it is dramatically better. Has an extra clip, is smaller (he staggered the clips up, down, up, down...) and it is easier to release then the old model. Plus, now you can deliver any amount of change instead of being limited to $.50 to $1. All in all a great improvement and a contender compared to Exact Change.
I don't have any ties to Cosmo other than being a customer. Just felt like a release this good had to get some attention. And although he has been gone a while the customer service is great. Highly recommended. Bruce

I've been "indisposed" for several weeks (good to be back) so I'm just getting caught up on all the latest...
Wow thanks Bruce, you received yours quick, anyone else who may have gotten it should know that I will have the new videos online this weekend, I decided to re-shoot a few things. Also anyone who didn't get my emails regarding this (those not in my database who may have purchased from a magic dealer), I am sending anyone who has the old version a free upgrade to the new "IPC 6 SHOOTER". (I agree with bruce it rocks!) I'll be posting a webpage that has the "how to get your free upgrade" this weekend. The inspiration for the new design was based on a request to make the Indonesian coins (Rupiah) work by Romy Raphael, I found it to be impossible for the "old design". the new design can handle just about any size coin and I can't seem to find any countries coins that won't work! I'd like to elaborate on the improvements if I may: the old IPC: 5 place holders, meant in some cases you might hold out 1 or 2 coins, depending on your countries coin denominations IPC 6 SHOOTER: 6 PLACE HOLDERS (hence the name!) meaning you might hold out NO coins or possibly one depending on your countries coin denominations IMPORTANT: Holding out can mean several things depending on what YOU wish to do, but as shown in the new included videos, there's some cool ideas for that one extra coin in the RARE case that you'd need it, you don't have to palm anything unless you wish to, and even then, its a simple finger palm, for a brief moment) the old IPC: although there is included very simple and effective "patter" you were limited to producing an amount between .50 and 1.00 IPC 6 SHOOTER: any amount can be named and produced, no equivoque' etc IPC 6 SHOOTER: more than 25% SMALLER yet STILL holds more AND DOES MORE than the old one! the old IPC: tension was created with rubber bands, worked fine but had to be adjusted/fine tuned and would need replacing, ALSO the plastic wasn't as strong as I had hoped and there were reports of breakage, sometimes warping. IPC 6 SHOOTER: After months of searching and experimentation the IPC 6 SHOOTER uses factory manufactured clips on a custom made base, with steel springs which are strong enough to hold the coins securely but SUPER EASY to release. THAT combination was the hardest thing to get just right. the old IPC: Easy, QUICK, no counting/fumbling or noise, IPC 6 SHOOTER: Even EASIER, QUICKER and still, NO COUNTING, FUMBLING OR NOISE! HANDS DOWN absolutely the FASTEST and EASIEST MOST NATURAL way to get any amount named. It doesn't matter if they say 21 cents or 98 cents, it's essentially the SAME EFFORT and NEVER takes more than 2 easy pushes of the fingertips! WHAT DIDN'T CHANGE: My intention with IPC was that it uses AS MANY coins as possible, even though there's minimal work and NO COUNTING OUT COINS ONE AT A TIME, the effect is DESIGNED to have the spectator holding AT LEAST 11 coins and as MANY as 16 coins! WHY THIS IS IMPORTANT: When the spectator has THAT MANY coins dumped into their hand, AND it is EXACTLY the amount of change they named, AND you pulled it out immediately WITHOUT EFFORT there's simply no explanation! They're completely floored! Psychologically, every little detail on this matter, down to exactly which coins make it the strongest possible, has been carefully thought out to MAXIMIZE the impact! the other rule it had to live up to: the gimmick can do the dirty work with NO fumbling and NO NOISE. The basic effect is the same, but now, cleaner, without previous limitations, and even STRONGER due to some new possibilities as well! The gimmick is smaller, more durable, does MORE and will last a lifetime with no need to adjust parts or replace parts. one more thing: Based on a suggestion from Paul Harris, I designed the new IPC 6 SHOOTER to "hide" inside a common object most people carry in their pockets, (this was suggested during the 2010 mindvention, just for the record) I later realized that it would give the opportunity to "ditch" the gaff, and yes I did share this idea with someone else (lesson learned) HOWEVER, and I hope everyone can understand and appreciate this... after weeks of using the idea, I found the effect lost some of its power, there's something to be said about the CLEAN AND STRAIGHTFORWARD presentation of JUST PULLING COINS out of the pocket!!! Not REMOVING an item to get it out of the way etc. It JUST WASN'T worth the trade off. After all, pulling the pockets inside out COMPLETELY eliminates doubt and NEVER has anyone wanted to examine my pants!!! (darn!) ;-) So, while CLEVER ETC. it didn't do what I BELIEVE to be the most important thing, offer good, clean STRONG and PURE magic. I've been told that the "novelty" of the idea would create more sales. Probably so! But as I've said before, while I do make a living at this but I don't just "do it for the money". I'm very excited and proud of this new design. I've put hundreds of hours and more $$$ than I care to think about into getting this "just right". I want to be sure EVERYONE knows that they can get a free IPC 6 shooter by contacting me, regardless of where they bought it. for now you can email me on the "how to" get yours, but I'll soon post a web page with instructions... my email: rcosmo@tricksite.com Thanks! Oh yeah, I'm fully stocked so if you DID purchase from me on my site, you'll be hearing from me very soon, if you haven't already, (as I'm sending the emails one at a time not bulk... spam filters etc) I've already shipped many of you the upgrade so watch your mailboxes! Thanks again Coz |

I always liked the amount of coins produced in IPC,but I also liked any amount named.
Sound like you you got all the points covered to make it as straight forward and deceptive as possible! Sounds fantastic Cosmo! |

Cosmo Solano Elite user Colorado 410 Posts |
STEEEVE!!!! Holy cow, dude I was going through all my receipts and just re-did my little studio and came across a postage paid un opened box to you!!! oh well for the better I REALLY ended up not so happy with the version I thought I sent you.
so when you get this, look a the post mark... (I'm pretty sure the postage is still good) ridiculous! Well it was just the timing, everything fell apart on me right around the same time I was shipping to you, got lost in the shuffle I guess. So sorry... Im gonna send you a jpg of the box! Thanks Steve... |

All is good Cosmo!
When I first hear of IPC,i figured out pretty quick how to get any amount named(using another item) but it was always the smallest amount of coins possible produced(sixty cents would simply be two quarters and a dime). My thoughts(i kept to myself) was I would love to produce a truly free choice but keep the nice pile of coins,thus getting the best of both worlds. I totally get the beauty and smoke behind the pile of change,as it strongly implies an unmanageable amount of coins to somehow control. Also simply pulling out the coins and showing the pocket(s) empty with nothing else involved is the most direct and clear(purity). Sincerely, Steve |
