Roo: Coin Box Part 2
Our newest contributing artist at Copeland Coins, the teacher of Brass Class (going live this week) shares a fun story!
***
You might think me strange…
You know that magician guy at the party? The one who brings a deck of cards around with him everywhere? Always ready to perform a trick? The guy who would be lost if he left his deck at home…He’d be having a rubbish night? Oh, Is that you? Well, I can relate. For years I was that exact guy, except with a brass coin box!
Jammed into jeans that were reminiscent of Mick Jagger’s leggings (just so that the lid wouldn’t fall off the box), that little brass box went with me everywhere! As a British magician, I am well aware of the attitudes of UK guys and gals, who are still out at a pub at 3am on a Saturday morning. It doesn’t take too much imagination to visualize this kind of audience. They are easily amused and begging for the night to carry on. But none the less, no matter the crowd’s present state of mind, or that of my own, the little brass box would always make an entrance!
I remember one night my mates and I had accosted another group of friends we had met and gone on for “one last drink”. As we were waiting to be served, my mate Johnny (whom I ran the local Magic shop with) said, “Hey Roo-oooo, do something weird for this lot, will ‘ya?” So out came the box and I proceeded with my routine called Okito Fly! (I’ll teach you all this one sometime in another project!)
Now this is a close up “In and Out” style routine that I usually perform in the spec’s hands (I mention this as it’s relevant to the ending). I was performing to a chap, a large rectangular gentleman whom reminded me of a dented suitcase. Being that I do walk around magic, my coin box and coins were being placed into his bear-like-paw hands. Upon completion of the effect, the applause and gregarious reactions started from everyone!….Except from the extremely large man who was still holding my coin box and unfortunately, this loud audience approval instigated the alpha male in this chap!
Did I mention he was big? At this point, he took my coin box and launched it the full length of the bar! Fortunately, it missed patron’s faces and bottles as it sailed across the room at cricket bowler speed and smashed into the alcohol license, whose frame shattered in it’s entirety. My coin box was left now dented, battered, and bruised on the floor.
I took it home as a reminder: Never, ever, however confident you may be, hand any of your props (especially ones made from solid brass) to the drunkest spectator in the group! Choose your helpers wisely.
So to this day, if you ask me, “Do you trust spectator’s to not drop your coin box?” The answer is, “Yes, always. I’ve never had anyone drop my coin box before! …But there was this one time where it flew!”

If you've got a few performance hours under your belt, you've dealt with a few "characters" in your performance audiences. After a rough set, I even received advice early on, from a well intentioned older magician, to never hand out any props. I can't imagine the joy I would have missed out on had I listened to that guy, but we have all had some crazy experiences I'm sure. What was your's? Share a comment below!
I’m a victim of onlineforex trade which all started with just a deposit of £400. The next deposit I was forced to pay quickly turned to £1,500 and every time I try to cash out they ask me for more to cover for taxes and other complicated government fees. My profits had accumulated to £117,000 as it would show on my mobile application but I could not access it. By the time I came to my senses that the company is illegitimate, l had already lost a total of £50,000. I researched about the company to confirm my fears and I came across a page where other people who had lost money to them shared their stories. Among the comments was from an elderly guy who shared how he got his profits back through the help of Cybertechie a genius recovery/hacker. I decided to try my luck and presented my case to him, which they were already familiar with and so I got back everything within 24 hours. I’m writing to confirm that Cybertechie is absolutely functional. If by any means you’re also a victim of online sc. a. m kindly send a message accross to them via: cybertechie813 @ gmail. com or via what’sapp // [+358 44- 9349-429].. And chat with them DIRECTLY..

Losing money through cryptocurrency investments can be a really tough and emotional experience. It can leave you feeling stressed, confused, and unsure of what to do next especially when things don’t go the way you expected. I know someone who went through this after investing in Ethereum with high hopes, but unfortunately ended up facing a significant loss. It was a challenging time, and figuring out the next steps took patience and careful thinking. If you ever find yourself in a similar situation, try not to lose hope.

Good day everyone, I’m Oliver Martins from Netherlands, my husband and I own a joint business, about two months ago we invested some part of our money into a cryptocurrency investment platform and made a total of $178,000 payment through bitcoins to this cryptocurrency platform not aware that it was all a sc*m, they kept asking us to make more payments into their platform and that was when we realized we have lost our investment. It was such a difficult time for us but while I was surfing the internet, I saw someone share a post about Cybertechie, a reputable company that recovers stolen and lost funds and any kind of hacking jobs. I didn’t hesitate to contact them and after providing all the information they needed to work with Cybertechie was able to recover our money in less than 48 hours. We were shocked that such a thing could be possible but we are super excited we were able to recover our money all thanks to him and his team. We are recommending them to everyone out there who have been defrauded too by these f*ke cryptocurrency investment platform. You can reach out to them with the information below: cybertechie813 @ gmail. com or WhatsApp +358 44- 9349-429.
I came in hand with greatness today, after mysteriously losing control of my Binance wallet and my trading account to LCGCOIN, I did everything they asked me but truth be told, this LCGCOIN crypto trading platform is just a bunch of rippers and clowns who prey on us due to our lack of exposure about cryptocurrency and how to properly earn from it. I saw no end to their demands for them to allow me access to my Binance wallet and trading account with them as well. I hired a private detective in my city, Oklahoma and he confirmed to me they were crooks but he couldn’t do much so he introduced me to Cyber Genie Hack Pro Crypto Wealth Recovery Services. I consulted them, and they swiftly got into work. I am truly impressed with the outcome of their recovery services. Having back access to my money was all I wanted. Every dollar I ever deposited into my LCGCOIN trading account was recovered. Everything is in order and my security is tight to avoid further cyber attacks. Grateful to everyone that made the recovery a success at Mail: cybertechie813 @ gmail. com or WhatsApp: +358 44- 9349-429.. File a case with james mc kay wizard if you are a victim of Binary and Cryptocurrency trading fraud.
