Week 1 - Getting Caught
<<< previous post <<< 2 minute read
Hello and welcome. My name is Timothy, and I'm new here. I'm not new to coin magic, blogging, or the pain that is "existence," just new to the Copeland Coin blog posts.
It's a privilege to be among the likes of Jeff Copeland (the main man himself), Rooster (sir box-a-lot) or other coin guys like Curtis Cam (who is quite frankly just showing off now). I have yet to create a well-loved coin magic company, revolutionise coin box magic or have palms of steel - they're more like soggy pasta! However, I am a working magician and I am performing coin magic in every set.
Much like the others here, my coin magic has been battle hardened by drunk spectators and dealing with things going wrong in real life. I have a lot to say about my real life experiences and how I got to where I am, today. My posts will be a little bit real and very silly...Strap in!
Today, I want to talk about using gimmicks in coin magic. When I first started, I leaned on them like a crux. They were the stabilisers that let me walk before I could classic palm. At some point, however, I resented that I needed them, and, like a moody teenager, I flew the nest and performed only gimmickless routines.
A weird thing happened, even though there were more sleights to hide, I felt freer. I wasn't worried about denting my shell, exposing a copper/silver or snapping the band of my flipper. These worries would usually keep me up at night because I knew without them I'd be about as magical as a tax return. I could finally sleep easy!
It also helped me relax about having 'different' coins. I live in the UK so I thought, it's even weirder because I have old American coins. However, I knew the coins weren't special and that came across in performance. I let people check the coins and was honest as to why I had them: I told them they were nicer than English coins. Everyone agreed and moved on with their lives.
In short, I learnt to stand on my own two sleights and felt like a better magician.
I've come back to gimmicks because I realise, when used well, they can create some of the strongest magic anyone has ever seen! However, my little adventure into the world of sleights constantly comes in handy.
One time in particular comes to mind. I was performing Imagination Coins by the amazing Garrett Thomas. I didn't control my audience well enough, the spectator picked up the shell, looked at the back and said, 'Ha! I knew it!'
Busted! Left out in the cold with my pants down and it was all my fault. When performed well, the routine is amazing and fooling. However, I had an off day. I let my audience, myself, and, most importantly, Garrett down.
Normally, that would have ruined me. I would have run away with my wand between my legs and cried into a copy of Bobo's. But I didn't let it phase me. I put my hands up and said, 'You got me!' I put the shell away, asked her to inspect the coins again and performed a gimmickless coins across. It fooled her! Somehow, I managed to give her that magical moment even though she had caught me out. In fact, she seemed even more impressed that I could do that without any sneaky props. For me, this solidified how useful it is to learn gimmickless routines.
I still think magic is stronger with gimmicks and worry that people avoid them out of some kind of purity. However, I'm constantly glad I know strong routines without them, I feel freer and more prepared for life in the wild. What are your thoughts on gimmicks? What's your favourites gimmickless routines? Have you got any horror stories?
Have you seen our two Carnival of Coins releases buy Mott-Sun and Alex Soza? Mott-Sun has two amazing and practical routines, justing just ordinary coins. Alex has two killer downloads that allow you to make coins disappear and show both hands empty, using just skill and devastating routining. Check them out and let me know what you think!
Until next time. Stay magical.

Did you suffer losses from the CanCap Crypto investment scam?
Sadly, I was a victim of this CanCap crypto investment scam, and I lost $757,000 worth of crypto in 24 hours. I saw an article about CanCap Crypto on Facebook, supposedly endorsed by then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. I was deceived into believing I could invest in this scheme, but I ended up losing all my money. Not a while later, I found out that I was being scammed when I saw the news about the Alberta Securities Commission (ASC) warnings about the CanCap Crypto investment scam. I was left wondering what had happened and how I could recover my money. A friend who works for the government of Alberta told me about Morphohack Cyber Service, which is a resourceful crypto recovery company. I contacted Morphohack Cyber Service, who had already received several other requests to investigate and recover crypto from the same scam, while I was still in doubt if it could be done, Morphohack was able to recover my crypto investments from CanCap within 48 hours later. In light of the situation, I fully recommend the service of Morphohack Cyber Service while I encourage everyone out there to be careful of their crypto investments or seek help from a reputable and trustworthy source.

As a realtor, I know big deals and the worry of working with big money. But nothing I had encountered in my career could possibly compare with the panic I felt when I lost access to my Bitcoin wallet. I had, for years, been sending $1.1 million worth of Bitcoin into retirement savings. The money represented my future freedom and security.
One day, after a very hectic week of closings and meetings with clients, I went to retrieve my wallet—and I couldn’t log in. I had inadvertently uninstalled the app from my smartphone. I then went to retrieve my backup, and I had corrupt backup files. I couldn’t find where I had written down my recovery phrase. I panicked. The possibility of losing my savings freaked me out. After a couple of restless nights of searching on the web for a solution, I had a friend I know suggest I call on PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY. I was dubious. How on earth could someone possibly access something as locked down as a Bitcoin wallet? Was this some scam on the web for people such as me, eager for answers and solutions? But after reading dozens of reviews and testimonies, I thought I had nothing to lose. From my very first experience with the PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY team, I felt at ease. Professional, yes, and sympathetic and understanding, too, they listened with compassion and empathy for what I had been experiencing. They thoroughly explained their process of recovery and established realistic expectations. Being sympathetic and understanding and thoroughly explaining their process made me feel comfortable when I needed them the most. Throughout the process, they kept me regularly updated, and this went on to reduce my worry. Every step of the process was treated with utmost caution and accuracy. Then, after 10 agonising days, I finally heard the call I had been holding onto—I had recovered my wallet in its entirety. Every single Bitcoin is intact. I felt washed with gratitude and relief. PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY not only recovered my files, they recovered peace of mind and future. Thanks to their skill and persistence, what I thought I had lost for sure, they made into a success. I can recommend them more times than I can count. If your cryptocurrency wallet has locked you out, don’t panic, call on PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY. They’re lifesavers.
