Neat Finds
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 3 sleepless nights of worry and anxiety, the team finally delivered the news I had been hoping, I checked my wallet balance as soon as I got the email and the funds was all there, $645,735 worth of USDT. I never felt much alive than that very day, like a second lifeline has been granted to me thanks to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE. Thinking back about everything, I realize I could’ve prevented all this from happening if only I had trusted my instincts, People always say to trust your instincts, and I wish I’d listened to mine. Last year, I was drawn into this binary options scheme that promised steady but stable returns with minimal risk. It felt a bit off, deep down I was second guessing the opportunity but like I said ‘’opportunity’’ therefore I decided to give it a trial hopefully I’d be convinced. I had just recently come into a small inheritance back then, and I thought I should put it to good use. We started quite small which really got me convinced. Though the profits were low but it was stable as promised. I felt i was in capable hands, so I invested more to increase my profits. One day, 4 and half months later, my balance had significantly increased, I decided it was time to to take out cash which I had set aside for a dream project, that’s when everything changed. To my greatest shock, it became one excuse to another, eventually I realized it was all a well orchestrated scam when they had me paying incessant amounts of fees at the withdrawal stage. But the damage had already been done, I have been scammed by an online group and there seemed to be nothing I could do about it. I felt helpless until a very good friend suggested consulting JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE for help and I bless him for that, his advice is what set everything in motion. My infinite gratitude to the team also, I can’t thank you guys enough.

However, I discovered RECOVERYHACKER101 through positive reviews read on MerchantCircle and reached out to them immediately on RECOVERYHACKER101 (AT) GMAIL DOT COM and they helped recovered my lost $45,000 and helped me monitor my husband’s calls and social media accounts.

I am WILMOTT CURTIS from Bakersfield, CA,United States. ghostchampionrecovery@cyberservices.com ,I need to share this here so you won’t lose your money cheaply to scam brokers. I invested about $290,278 on a binary option platform, then I decided to withdraw after several weeks. The withdrawal wasn’t successful, so I tried to contact the platform via email and phone number. I didn’t get a response from them when everything started looking weird. Some weeks later I got a letter from them insisting I should invest more money if I want to withdraw my money which I rejected and I never heard from them again. That was when I knew I had been scammed. I was really devastated at that moment and felt so bad that my hard earned money was gone.
