An especially good effect for close work and entirely impromptu so that you may perform it at the dinner table, at your club, or while entertaining at a party.
Magician shows four coins in his left hand. His right hand is empty. He then closes both hands and reopens them to show three coins in his left hand and one in his right. Performer continues to close the open his hands, each time showing one less coin in his left hand and one more in his right, until all four coins have passed over into his right hand.
How it is done
The method, 6 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
