Effect

The magician empties five half dollars from an Okito coin box, places the coins on the table and covers them with the bottom section of the box. One coin leaves the box and travels to his left hand. Then the remaining four are held in his right hand, but again a coin passes to his left hand.

Now he places two coins on the back of his left hand, covers them with the box and holds his right hand below. One coin penetrates his left hand and appears on the back of his right. Finally, he places four coins on the table, covers them with the box and holds the fifth one in his left hand. This coin leaves the hand and joins the others underneath the box.

How it is done

The method, 16 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
