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.

A few months ago, shortly after going through a difficult divorce, I connected with someone online who introduced me to cryptocurrency investing. He appeared knowledgeable and trustworthy, and based on his guidance, I decided to invest nearly $550,000. Unfortunately, when I later attempted to access the account to withdraw both my initial investment and the expected returns, I realized I had been locked out. It became painfully clear that I had been the victim of a scam.
I promptly reported the incident to the Police and FBI and provided all the necessary documentation. While they took the matter seriously, they were ultimately unable to recover the funds.
Thankfully, a co-worker referred me to Professional Wizard Crypto Recovery Hackers. I contacted them and shared all the details of my case. They were responsive, professional, and compassionate from the very beginning. To my immense relief, they were able to recover the full amount I had lost within just a few weeks.
I’m truly grateful for their expertise and support throughout what was a deeply stressful experience. If anyone else finds themselves in a similar situation, I wholeheartedly recommend reaching out to Professional Wizard Crypto Recovery Hackers. They gave me hope when I thought all was lost and most importantly, they helped me get my money back.

It all started when I stumbled upon a Telegram group that promised incredible returns on investments. The admin claimed that if I sent 0.5 Bitcoin (BTC), I would receive double my investment within just 24 hours. As a college student eager to make some extra money, the prospect of quick profits was too enticing to ignore. I watched as others in the group shared their success stories, boasting about how they had turned small investments into substantial gains. Their excitement fueled my own hopes, and I felt a rush of adrenaline at the thought of joining their ranks.I decided to take the plunge. I transferred my 0.5 BTC, convinced that I was making a smart financial decision. The initial thrill of the investment quickly turned into anxiety as I waited for the promised returns. Hours passed, and I kept checking the group for updates, but the excitement I had felt began to wane. Instead of the anticipated messages celebrating our profits, the group fell silent.Then, the unthinkable happened. The admin deleted all messages, and the group vanished into thin air. Panic set in as I realized that I had been scammed. I wasn’t alone; over 200 others had also fallen victim to this scheme, collectively losing a staggering 20 BTC. The weight of my decision crashed down on me, and I felt a mix of anger, shame, and helplessness. I had trusted the promises made by the admin, and now I was left with nothing but regret.In the days that followed, I grappled with the reality of my loss. I felt like a fool for believing in the quick returns that had been dangled in front of me. However, a glimmer of hope emerged when I learned about PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a firm specializing in cryptocurrency recovery. They had identified the scammers and were working diligently to recover the stolen funds. I followed their progress with a sense of cautious optimism, hoping that they could bring justice to those of us who had been wronged.To my relief, PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY successfully traced the stolen Bitcoins and managed to recover all the funds. This outcome was a bittersweet victory for me. While I was grateful to have my investment returned, the experience served as a harsh lesson about the dangers of the cryptocurrency world. I realized that the promise of quick returns often comes with significant risks, and I vowed to be more cautious in the future.This experience has left me more aware of the importance of conducting thorough research and verifying the legitimacy of any investment opportunity.
