Not read all of this thread, so it may have been mentioned. I am pleased to find out that I can use the same deck for this effect as the one I use for An Extraordinary Exhibition of Seeing with the Fingertips by Luke Jermay! I would save Cosmos Duo for the second phase as an example of how the spectator has the ability to see with the fingertips. Pocket space is so crucial to me that this coupling of these two awesome effects really has me salivating.

I think this is one of the best OOTWs out there. Seriously. The subtleties are great. I don't know Greg at all but great job, man!

A family friend recorded my performance of Cosmos 2 at my cousin's engagement party.

For those of you who have Cosmos Duo, you'll notice a small subtlety that was not on the original product video . . . when I show a few cards on both the red and the black piles.

Truly brilliant performance, Greg.

It is dangerous to talk of the final word in any effect, but surely Greg has come pretty darn close to the final word in Curry's work of genius?

Thanks again guys.

Here's a performance of Cosmos 2 on my Penguin Live lecture.
This one shows what happens when the spectator does not count 26 cards!!

Every time I perform Cosmos 2 I REALLY hope that the spectator is off by one card just so that I can do this final subtlety.

That's a great performance…What I like to do sometimes is write (in Sharpie) on the back of the card box, "Off by one."
Not only is this a great prediction that the spectator will count 25 cards, but it also covers a potential error by the performer. (If a card is in the wrong pile, etc.)

Love the look of this, been doing galaxy for years and years, but think this raises the bar.

Can't wait to get this, sure it'll be a winner with Greg as always..

I've never been able to do the 'move' with the special deck, unfortunately, so I made a special deck up using a double-decker which allows me to show the cards all mixed up but actually it's already in the correct order to start the effect.

I just picked this effect up recently, and I have to say I really like it. Pegasus, you mention problems with the "move." I am also having a little trouble with that part of the handling, so I'm hoping with concerted practice, that after awhile it will come without thinking twice about it. I'm trying two different decks to see what works better, but any tips from anyone would be appreciated.

I'm also struggling from time to time to get the move with the first try (those of you that have it hopefully know what I mean). I found out that it works much better with my special Phoenix deck than with the bicycle one. Any tips? Please PM me. Thanks

Which came first. Separation anxiety or Cosmos 2? Just curious since the methods are very similar.

Also - what was updated from the original Cosmos 1? I'm not familiar with that version. Just curious what was updated. Anyone know?

I saw this on the penguin live lecture. Looks great.
