After a version which appeared in Ireland Writes a Book This trick, the brainchild of Laurie Ireland, is one of the most novel effects of its kind I have ever run across. Glenn Harrison showed me a version of it, to which I have added a few ideas of my own. The composite version follows.

General effect: A quarter and a half dollar change places a couple of times in a unique manner. Finally the half dollar changes to two quarters.

How it is done

The method, 5 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
