Ok guys, who wants to throw some advice my way?

I have a matching Okito box and Boston box set, both hold four half dollars. I want to put a short routine together utilizing both. I have a beginning, I have an end, I just need a middle.

The start of the routine, the Okito and one coin come out, coin goes in box, box is placed on table or spare hand, coin is shown elsewhere, box is shown empty.

The ending, Okito has been switched for Boston, four coins now in play. Box is filled, placed on helpers hand, shown full (wink wink) their other hand puts lid on and covers box, four coins travel through box and their hand into mine which is underneath theirs. Box is shown empty.

So, the middle I am planning on bringing out one more coin, making it two. Here are the restrictions.
I don't want to be stuck doing this only at tables, so can't be coins through table. I don't want it to be coins through my hand, because to me that seems pointless if being presented as I can make them appear "in" my hand at will. Because the third stage is coins through their hand, obviously I don't want that in the middle either. I don't want to laden the routine down with having to introduce another prop such as a hanky or a silk or a glass.

I don't mind doing the switch either between stage one and two, or between stage two and three, as I have setup trips to the pocket inbetween each to get the other coins.

Cn you think of a decent second phase, or perhaps a better third phase that can push the ending into the middle still keeping the upward rise in impossibility?

Not educated well enough in the subject to be of any real help, but here is my favourite coin box routine, performed by one of my favourite contemporary magicians...
