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.

I never imagined that I would become a victim of cryptocurrency fraud, but unfortunately, that’s exactly what happened. I had been investing in Bitcoin for a while and felt confident in my ability to identify legitimate opportunities. However, I fell for a sophisticated scam that resulted in me losing a significant amount of Bitcoin. It was a devastating experience—I felt helpless, frustrated, and unsure of what to do next. WhatsApp: +19 (20408) 1234
After trying everything I could to get my funds back—contacting the fraudulent platform, filing complaints, and even reaching out to law enforcement—I began to lose hope. That’s when I started researching crypto recovery services and came across PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY, a company with a solid reputation for helping victims of crypto fraud retrieve their lost funds. Website info: http s://pro wizard gilbert recovery. info
At first, I was skeptical. With so many fake recovery services out there, I didn’t want to fall for another scam. However, after thoroughly checking their background, reading genuine testimonials, and speaking with their team, I felt reassured. From the moment I reached out, PRO WIZARD GIlBERT RECOVERY demonstrated professionalism, transparency, and a deep understanding of blockchain forensics.
Their team carefully analyzed my case and provided a clear plan of action. They explained their methodology, including how they would trace the stolen Bitcoin, identify wallet addresses, and collaborate with the necessary authorities if needed. Throughout the process, they kept me updated, answering all my questions and giving me confidence that I had chosen the right people to help me. Email: pro wizard gilbert recovery (@) engineer. com

I am open to share my experience with bitcoin investment and losing money to scammers. However, yes it is possible to recover your stolen bitcoins. I never believed in bitcoin recovery because I was made to understand that it was not possible. However, sometime in October I fell for a forex scam which promised overly high returns and I ended up losing close to $70,000. I searched for a month for help until I finally came across an article on reddit in regards to recovering stolen cryptocurrency so I reached out to him at [recoveryhacker101[at]gmail[dot]com I was so scared and skeptical because I have heard of bad experiences but I decided to give them a try and to my greatest surprise I was able to get all my stolen bitcoins recovered from the scammers within a very short time frame. I don’t know if I’m allowed to share the links on here but you can contact if you also need help.

I had a major setback, I lost my Bitcoin, which was super important and couldn’t be replaced. It was a total catastrophe, and I was seriously bummed out. For a while, I figured there was no way to fix it. I bet a lot of people have been there. I used to think, like everyone else, that once Bitcoin is sent, it’s gone for good. That’s exactly what I thought when I realized my Bitcoin was gone from my crypto wallet. At first, I felt lost and like I’d lost something huge. It was an awful moment, and I was convinced that Bitcoin was gone forever. But then, things took a turn for the better. I read a review, and what happened next was unexpected and awesome. I found an online recommendation for Dune Nectar Web Expert, a company that helps get back lost or stolen digital stuff. I wasn’t sure at first, but I was desperate, so I gave them a shot. I contacted Dune Nectar Web Expert, and their team immediately contacted me.
I was impressed with how professional they were and how much attention they paid to my situation. They listened to my story and explained how they’d try to get my Bitcoin back. It was comforting to know they cared; they treated my problem like a big deal. The recovery process was comprehensive and fast. They kept me in the loop the whole time, with clear updates and realistic expectations. The team worked hard for me, using fancy methods to recover my lost Bitcoin.
