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.

Don’t ask me how it happened, but one fateful day, I made the rookie mistake of mistaking my crypto wallet app for a game on my phone. I know, I know it sounds ridiculous, but in my infinite wisdom (or perhaps due to a caffeine-induced haze), I clicked around, convinced I was “unlocking achievements” and leveling up my digital life. What I really unlocked was my $350,000 Bitcoin wallet—right out of my reach. Talk about a plot twist I never saw coming! As the realization of my blunder sank in, panic set in. My heart raced faster than a toddler who’s just spotted a cookie jar. “What have I done?” I muttered to myself, my mind racing through all the worst-case scenarios. I frantically tapped on my phone, but my wallet was still locked tight, as if it had thrown a digital tantrum. With a sinking feeling in my stomach, I knew I had to act fast. I picked up the phone and called Cyber Tech Wizard , my last hope in this absurd situation. I half-expected them to burst into laughter at my ludicrous story. But to their credit, they didn’t laugh (at least not out loud). Instead, they approached my case with a calm professionalism that instantly put me at ease. “Don’t worry,” they assured me, “we’ve seen stranger things. "Their team dove into action, using their advanced forensic tools to unravel the mess I had created. It was like watching a magic show, only instead of pulling a rabbit out of a hat, they were extracting my funds from the depths of my blundering mistakes. In no time, they worked their magic and restored my access to my $350,000 Bitcoin wallet. I could hardly believe it! Once I regained access, I felt like I’d been handed a golden ticket to a treasure hunt. I couldn’t thank Cyber Tech Wizard enough for their expertise and patience in dealing with my ridiculous mix-up. As a precautionary measure, I promptly deleted all the games from my phone. I realized that my wallet deserves better than to be confused with a candy crush or a farming simulator. So, if you ever find yourself in a similarly absurd predicament, I highly recommend Cyber Tech Wizard . They turned my digital disaster into a success story, and I’m forever grateful to them for saving my sanity and my funds!

MetaMask is the biggest scam you can have. All my NFT and coins were stolen in the twinkle of an eye, and their very rude customer care will ignore you and tell you there’s nothing they can do. ProAssetRecovery was competent enough to help me recover my lost asset. You can reach them via proassetrecoveryexpert@gmailcom.
Some months ago, I got entangled up in an international real estate investment that promised small investors like me a chance to profit from booming property markets overseas. The real estate market which we all know is very profitable, and one of the major investments sector around the world. Everything seemed legit with them, they gave me virtual tours of properties I supposedly owned a share in and I was very excited. But even until then, something still felt off, I couldn’t place my finger on it but deep down it kept lingering, yet I pushed the feeling aside and pushed further. If I could give one piece of advice after my experience, it’s to trust your gut always. I kept imagining the passive income I will soon earn and I allowed that to cloud my judgement. For a while, they sent me regular dividends that made everything look real. Then, as the months passed I invested more and more. Eventually it got to the point where I needed to withdraw more funds then the payments stopped. Their explanations for the delays kept changing, and soon enough, they started demanding for extra fees to resolve the withdrawal complications. But i had no more money to give, I had invested all my savings believing It was secure and safe. Out of desperation, I reached out to JETHACKS RECOVERY CENTRE, a recovery expert team someone mentioned in an online forum. I didn’t expect much, but the team quickly analyzed my case, uncovering digital traces I hadn’t even realized were there. I could tell from the onset, I was dealing with professionals. They connected the dots, found where my funds had been rerouted, and worked tirelessly with their excellent team to recoup back the funds into my wallet account. I’m glad their efforts paid off, they successfully recovered 100% of my investment within 72 hours timeframe of the team working on my case. I connected with the team on Telegram via @ JETHACKSS but they‘re also responsive on Email contact : JETHACKS 7 @ GMAIL . COM
