Published in 1986 by the Camirand Academy of Magic, and written by Gary Ouellet, Eric DeCamps' The Coin Connection was the seventh and final installment in their Masters of Magic series. The three-phase routine requires a table, but can be performed standing up (i.e., there's no lapping), and includes explanations for a multitude of sleights, including The Stack Steal, the Retention Vanish, the Retention Pick-Up, the Levered Production, the Malini Subtlety, the Shuttle Pass, and more. Here's the effect, as described by Gary Ouellet:
The magician (hands obviously empty) takes out a small change purse and dumps out three half dollars. The purse is closed and put aside.
ACT I: The Homing Coins
One by one, a coin is taken in the hand, squeezed and vanished, whereupon it reappears in the change purse.
ACT II: Travel Agents
The purse is put away. Three coins and two empty hands are in clear view. One hand covers the coins and the other hand is held [palm] down several inches away. One coin leaves the group and travels to under the other hand. This is repeated until all three coins have travelled.
ACT III: Foreign Exchange
One coin after another is placed into the hand, squeezed and changes into a British penny (copper). The (now) three copper coins are dropped into the purse, the purse is shaken and opened, and the coppers have transformed back into silvers. At the end, the hands are clean.
