Now that's fun. Thanks for the preview!

My pleasure, and I forgot to mention that this youtube clip only shows the first of two phases that comprise Yannick's full routine, all taught in the next (i.e., September) Genii.

This is a fantastic piece of magic.

Someone could really distinguish themselves with a unique piece of coin magic if they were to combine Yannick's "Bermuda Triangle" with Camille Gastine's "Triangulation," from the December 2005 Magicana - i.e., two half dollars and an English penny are placed on the table in a triangle formation, whereupon the English penny changes places with each of the half dollars as it travels around the triangle. Then the two half dollars and one English penny become two English pennies and one half dollar. Then all three coins become half dollars. Finally, a spectator is asked to choose any one of the three half dollars. The magician picks it up and brushes it gently with his fingertips, changing it into an English penny. The coins are immediately handed out for examination.
