Effect

The trickster shows a nickel in his right hand between the tips of the forefinger and thumb, and the hand appears otherwise empty. After showing his left hand empty he brings it over to his right hand for a moment. When the two hands separate he is holding an English penny in his right hand and a half dollar in his left. The nickel has vanished.

How it is done

The method, 3 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
