Dr. Eamon Inner circle ------------John Dream------------If you can Dream it, you can Do it! 1313 Posts |
I just saw a new Imp*** pad Cogni by Ricardo Montoya from Vanishing Inc and I was wondering if this gives a good impression every time.
It seems that it can be used with almost any writing device, PENS, PENCIL, CRAYON AND WITH A MARKER!!! So this is not like eParaPad or Psypher, also not some cheap copy paper. - Does anyone here own it and can you write a short review. - Can anyone say how the impression are, and is the way to get the peek easy and natural? Thanks, John |

I own so many from simple copy paper to the gold m**netic material and never saw anything that could do the job using a marker without a m**net or copy paper with a marker. And I'm interested but only if it works well with a normal marker... Thanks! |

I haven’t tried a marker. Video says you can use one. A pencil with little pressure leaves great impression through 5 pages. I’m happy with this

Ok, I bought it. I can use any pen pencil sharpie etc.
BUT!! I did a test. I walked around with it for a little while. When I tried to write there was no impression. I had to reset it to get an impression. So after you reset it you have a certain amount of time to do the effect. If you wait too long nothing impresses!! It's like parapad and riggs pads. With the parapad and Riggs pads the reset is good until you want to use it again, for days. Also, the teaching is all in Spanish with subtitles. Also, how does one get replacement papers? The pad has chinese writing on it. My opinion is that it's not reliable. Because of those reasons, sorry, I have to be out! (stolen from Shark Tank) If anyone wants to test drive one I'll sell mine for $25 |

It does say to set the device about 20 before using it. If you do this it’s close to 100%

If you pull the pad from your pocket, can it be reset in front of the spectator or is it a bit fidgety

He says you can in the video but I don’t think it would fly.

The only advantage this has is that you can use any implement to write. But I'd like to know how to refill it? You can probably remove the special thing and put it in the back of a standard pad. |

For me, this was a step backwards from other options out there. In testing, I found the following major issues:
1 - The im******* is ok, but unreliable. The material is sensitive, but I could never get a consistent result. Riggs and parapad are vastly superior 2- The reset is cumbersome. Riggs pads are vastly superior, and the parapad cleanup is also easier. The materials are sticky… meaning it takes a little bit of work to do the deed. It’s not difficult, but definitely not something I’d recommend doing in front of people. 3- The nature of the material, in my opinion, makes it very restrictive in regards to lighting conditions. Even in decent lighting, if I tilt the pad, there are points when the im******** is completely unreadable. 4 - the way the pad is constructed, I think there’s a major misstep. The spot you don’t want people to see absolutely CAN be seen by the spectator, simply in the act of tearing the paper out of the pad. It happened once with an actual test spectator, and I had it happen with my own tests. To me, this was a deal breaker. Riggs pads are bulletproof in this regard. The parapad system is also set up to specifically counter this potential hazard, and in the years I’ve used it, I have never once had an issue. In my opinion, this is a hard pass. Even though multiple writing implements can be used, it’s just not enough to overcome the shortcomings. I will give them points for a good price and the fact that you get two pads - so that’s something. The extra cost of the parapad is absolutely worth it. With my pen construction kit and cricut , I’ll always have markers and refill paper whenever needed, so it has paid for itself ages ago. |

Just got COGNI (impression pad) - Ricardo Montoya in for doing a review. I like it a lot butttttt….
It works yes it does and it works fine but over the years I found so many ways to do the same effect. The reset broke on one of my pads within the 3 try the other pad is still working good. I think this is a nice price and for the price you get two pads |

FWIW, this could have been a 10 dollar download. I bought a different pad and the special material from a local store. I made 5 pads in like 10 minutes. I set them all and I still get an amazing impression DAYS later without a reset.

I received my Cogni just a few days ago . This is exactly as described. Very easy to use, extremely deceptive. By following the simple instructions, I was able to get great impression’s every time. I experimented with every type of writing instrument. Although the instructions are spoken in Spanish and with English subtitles, it was still very easy to follow. overall, I found nothing negative to report. Well worth the price.
