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.

Recovering lost funds from a cryptocurrency scam, it’s something that can happen to anyone, and many people don’t know that there’s a way out. A few months ago, I found myself scammed by a so-called Bitcoin investment platform. I had initially invested $15,000, lured in by the promises of high returns and a slick online presence. At first, everything seemed legitimate, but over time, I realized that the more I invested, the more my account balance seemed to vanish. My funds were being moved around, and I couldn’t get in touch with anyone to explain what was going on. It was a terrifying realization $15,000 was a huge sum for me, and I felt totally helpless. The scammers had cleverly hidden their tracks, and I thought there was no way to recover my money. I started to lose hope, but after speaking to a few others who had been through similar situations, I learned that there was still a possibility of getting my funds back. This is where I found out about Bitcoin recovery services, and that’s when I contacted Rapid Digital Recovery. From the moment I reached out to them, I was impressed by their professionalism. They explained how they use blockchain forensics to trace and recover stolen cryptocurrency, even when it’s been moved between multiple wallets or exchanges. They reassured me that there was still a good chance of recovering my lost funds, despite the complexity of the situation. This was a huge relief. Working with Rapid Digital Recovery was straightforward and effective. They handled all the technical aspects of the recovery, including communicating with global regulatory agencies like the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and coordinating the charge-back process with the relevant parties. Within just a few weeks, I had successfully recovered 90% of my lost $15,000. The entire process was handled smoothly and efficiently, and the team kept me updated at every step. What really stood out to me was how they made the process simple and less stressful. I never once felt like I was in the dark or that my case was being ignored. The recovery service was thorough and transparent, and it gave me back a sense of control over a situation that once felt hopeless. If you’ve been scammed or are suspicious about a cryptocurrency investment, I can’t stress enough how important it is to act fast and get in touch with a recovery service like Rapid Digital Recovery.

When investing in cryptocurrencies, one must exercise extreme caution. My capital investment was locked along with all of my returns at a binary investment firm, which was the exact issue I was having. Though I genuinely think there are legitimate businesses you can invest in, the difficulty is how to know for sure before making a decision. It was almost like watching a movie as the whole thing played out for me when I fell for these con artists posing as investors. Before it happened to me, I was unable to believe that such things exist. But when it turned out that I couldn’t withdraw my money, I started looking for a way to get it back. Fortunately, through recommendations from others, I was introduced to a recovery agent named Speed Swift Recovery. When I discovered that the scammers’ website had been taken down, Speed Swift Recovery was such a lifesaver; they were able to access it and helped me get my money back. I can’t be more grateful.
