Find command not executing for copying file

Buddies, I am trying to copy the file 'xcopyq' from /home/sandip to /home/sandip/testdir using the below command and getting the error as shown below:-

Code:
sandip@manu:~$ find /home/sandip -type f -name '*xcopyq*' -exec cp{} /home/sandip/testdir/ \:
find: missing argument to `-exec'

Am I correctly writing the code ?

Any inputs will help me a lot.
