Sawa and others have explored the "making change" theme.

I like the gallo trick where 1 dollar coins turn into 4 quarters and 2 halfs

How is it going with the transposition using (openly displaying) two Quarters and an English Penney? Any luck using the "Siamese coin" approach? How about the EG2EG switch? The Siamese gaff and the flash change? No gaff and the Floperino?

I think that trick is Dr. Sawa's... but Mike has at least TWO great methods for doing it. One on his Siamese Coins video and one in Richard's Almanac.

Splitting Silver is beautiful.. Dr. Sawa has a version of it. That is the one this nearly normal guy uses.....

Ahh those as well, I was refering to his fathers method, and I think you are right about sawa ill check the books later if I can

I just experimented with a quick transposition using an extra EP and HPC.
Nothing spectacular but workable.

Also tried it with 1 EP and 2 extra quarters as well as with 2 EPs and 2 extra quarters. Not so easy.

Using just 1 EP and 2 Qs was a little too 'movy' to me.

Agreed... I just did not get into Jay's HPC/CPH.

But a click pass and an extra EP can work very nicely... or the HPC

When you try a siamese approach the two-becomes one change has additional options.

Actually I tried both Latta's HPC and one of Sankey's HPC/CPHs.
Sankey's being more visual and using only 1 EP and 2 Qs.

On Vol 2 of the New York Coin Magic Seminar DVD series, there is an entire section on 2 copper 1 silver. There is an instantaneous triple change from me, an Okito box routine from Roth with a triple change climax, a 2 copper 1 silver routine with the Gallo touch, and last but not least, Latta's Cop Sil Brass routine from Coin magic, with touches that you can only get from the DVD. That's FOUR takes on the two copper one silver plot.

This is something I have not explored, but it sounds real good. I'm going to think about it a while and play with it.

Thanks for the suggestion and all of the references.

Hmm...

I have been playing with a 2 coin size and 2 coin box routine...

(as a separate piece from my copper silver....)

The coins I have been using have been Morgan Dollars and Liberty Half.

If I used .....mmmmmm ha or is that a ha....

The coin changes are fun I have been doing a switch with a 1842 US penny I bought & a $ dollar canada coin I found on a trip to NY.another set I use that is close to the same size in diameter is 2 silver Italana L50 coin & a Belgiqve 20 f forgin coins I purchaced at our local coin shop that was in a Mosc box for .25 each

To clairfy what I said above its $2 dollar canada coin ,it has silver & gold can be quite interesting to the spectators to see a coin in the US that they rarly see
