Hi Colin,
Rider back cards can not be marked by the USPCC.
It is against the copyright/trademark laws to sell a marked deck that has the bicycle rider back.

If I wanted to sell a deck that didn't have the rider back then you'd be correct ... you would get a deck that is already done out of the box.
But I wanted you to have a standard, red, rider back, deck of cards made by the USPCC.

It takes less than 8 minutes of preparing the deck with a red pen (I can do it in 4 mins).

I hope this clears things up.
Greg

Thanks for the reply Greg. It would have been good to include a FTRS in the package. As it is I need to order and wait for it to arrive before I can use the deck. I wish this had been mentioned in the ad copy and I would have bought both at once.

@ Greg: What's all this about? Do we need to be more transparent in our magic Ads? This is leading to confusion plese.

I’ve still got mine from when I marked my deck for Cosmos 1.

You can use any red pen.
You don't have to use a Fine Tip Red Sharpie.

You can also perform all of the effects that are included with Cosmos 3 without marking the cards.
All you would have to do is briefly check the face of the cards, as you spread them, before showing everyone else the fan.

Marking the cards make it easier to perform.

Here's another one of the effects that you'll perform with Cosmos 3.



As you can see on the video, after the cards are shuffled, the cards are shown shuffled before and after you video the spread.

You video using a borrowed spectator's phone ... you can leave the video as a souvenir for your spectator.
There are no apps used in this performance.

You'll LOVE the reactions of this one.

Cosmos-3 by Greg Rostami - Another big leap into the COSMOS world.

Over the years I have noticed that Greg's performances are super smooth and clean. Greg knows how to market an effect - One can learn a lot from his marketing strategy. Also he has a knack of keeping the thread rolling and the readers engrossed.

As per the Ad and the various demo vid, I find Cosmos-3 has a lot of potential. So much more can be done and achieved with just one special deck of cards. I love Greg's thinking, logic and reasoning gone behind his creations. Most of his effects are powerful and mind-blowing. He is a great thinker and a creator.

OK, enough said. Smile

I will be certainly getting Cosmos-3.

Smile
P.S. It will be nice if the spelling of 'Rostami' is corrected in the heading of this thread.

Thank you very much Ustaad for your support.

It's always a pleasure to read your comments on the Café.

all the best,
Greg

When will this ship.
"The New York Papers," Mark Twain once said,"have long known that no large question is ever really settled until I have been consulted; it is the way they feel about it, and they show it by always sending to me when they get uneasy. "

THAT'S GENIUS, GREG! I can't wait to get busy with that one.

Thank you for the kind words.

My wife was filming the above video.
One of the things she couldn't film (she had to help my daughter) was ...

While they are looking at the video I switched the Cosmos 3 deck for a REAL deck.
The video is SO amazing that it's the perfect misdirection for a deck switch.

So when everyone is done watching the video you hand out the cards for examination. Smile

This is the effect that I performed after Alternate Reality:


All the best,
