I would have been very happy with this if I had been told specifically what the gimmick was before
the purchase. Yes, several comments said that it was a gimmick that we probably already owned but
used in a new way. I suspected it was a variant on the most standard gaffed deck and was looking
forward to receiving it in the mail. As it turned out it was just the normal gaff used in the same
way as many other OTW routines employ. I also made the mistake of selecting the flat pack shipping
which I expected would not have the outside packaging but was surprised to find the cards loose in
the envelope and no folded card box to put them in.
The routine is great and the
instruction excellent. Greg Rostami knows his subject well. He has obviously tested and refined his
presentation in the real world. I have studied OTW and own most of the printed versions, including
the more recent compilation Best Of All Worlds. Even so I learned a couple of things from Cosmos Duo
and am appreciative that Mr. Rostami has shared his working of it. The routine and instruction
deserves 5 stars. Unfortunately the misinformation about the gaff took away from what would have
been a stellar Cosmo Duo.
