Effect

Cosmos is a portable thermal printer disguised as a wallet. It allows magicians and mentalists to print predictions, words, numbers, or images in real time during a performance. The audience sees a seemingly impossible moment where a spectator's freely chosen thought or action appears instantly on paper, as if predicted in advance.

Full details

Cosmos is a compact, Bluetooth-enabled device that fits inside a standard wallet. It works with a companion app where spectators input information—such as numbers, words, or drawings—which the printer then silently produces on thermal paper. The device includes multiple paper types, including blank, lined, lottery-style, and book test formats. It supports various effects, including:

  • Three-digit number predictions
  • Lottery ticket simulations
  • Word tests (spectator writes a word, which prints instantly)
  • Book test selections (printing a specific book page)
  • Time predictions (printing a watch face with the chosen time)
  • Magic squares (based on a spectator's number)

The printer is nearly silent, and the wallet design keeps the method hidden. The app allows customization of fonts and layouts to match different performance styles.

Who should consider the trick

Cosmos is ideal for mentalists, close-up magicians, and performers who specialize in prediction-based routines. It suits those who want a high-tech, versatile tool that can integrate into multiple effects. Corporate performers and walkaround magicians will find it useful due to its portability and ability to create personalized moments.

Information on how difficult it is to perform

The technical operation of Cosmos is straightforward—pairing the app, loading paper, and printing are simple. However, the real challenge lies in scripting and presentation. Performers must rehearse natural handling of the phone and wallet to avoid suspicion. Some reviewers note that customizing templates requires patience, but the included resources help streamline the learning process.

  • Magic Orthodoxy calls Cosmos a "silent killer" and praises its versatility, saying it "passes with flying colors" despite the $350 price.
  • Chris Edwards Magic highlights its durability and ease of use, recommending it for its "endless creative possibilities."
  • TheMagicMinute notes its realism, especially when combined with thermally active business cards for seamless routines.
  • BAM_magic suggests it could be a contender for "Trick of the Year" due to its innovation and practicality.

Overall, reviewers agree that Cosmos is a powerful tool for performers willing to invest time in mastering its potential.
