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.

After an attack on my laptop that saw me lose access to my wallet keys and losing $1.2m worth of crypto, I was admitted to the hospital for weeks and if not for the intervention of loved ones, I’m not sure I will be here to tell this story.
A few weeks ago, I was hacked and saw me lose all my digital assets including that belonging to my friend. I was extremely disoriented until a post about crypto recovery popped up on my feed and I saw a similar post about Morphohack Cyber Security, a crypto recovery expert, I contacted them immediately and to my surprise, Morphohack Cyber Security was able to recover my crypto assets and secure my wallet for me.

HIRE A HACKE DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTIONI was just hours away from sealing the biggest real estate deal of my life- the kind of deal that would make one feel like a financial genius. It was the dream property, and all I had to do was transfer my $450,000 Bitcoin deposit. Simple, right? Wrong. I pulled up my crypto wallet, ready to finalize the transfer, and access was denied. No big deal. Maybe I mistyped the password. I tried again. Access denied. Panic started seeping in. I switched devices. Rebooted my system. I entered every password I had ever used since the dawn of time, including my childhood nickname and my favorite pizza topping. Still. Nothing. This wasn’t a glitch. This was a full-scale disaster. The seller was waiting; my real estate agent was waiting. And my money? Trapped in a digital vault I suddenly had no key to. Every worst-case scenario flooded my head: Had I been hacked? Did I lock myself out? Was this some kind of cosmic payback for every time I blew off software updates?
Just about the time I was getting comfortable in my new identity as the guy who almost bought a house, I remembered that a friend, a crypto lawyer-once said something to me about a recovery service. I called him with the urgency of a man dangling off a cliff. The moment I said what happened, he cut me off: “Email DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION Recovery. Now.” I didn’t ask questions. I dialed quicker than I’d ever dialed in my life. From the second they answered, I knew I was with the pros. There was no hemming, no hawing; this team must have handled its fair share of this particular type of nightmare. They talked me through the process, asked the right questions, and went to work like surgeons in a digital operating room. Minutes felt like hours. I was at DEFCON 1, stress-wise. I paced and stared at my phone, wondering if it was time to move into a cave because, at this rate, homeownership was not looking good. Then—the call came: “We got it.” I just about collapsed with relief. My funds were safe. My wallet was unlocked. The Bitcoin was transferred just in time, and I signed the contract with literal seconds to spare. And that night, almost lost to the tech catastrophe of the century in that house, I made a couple of vows: never underestimate proper wallet management and always keep DUNAMIS CYBER SOLUTION Recovery on speed dial.
