Depending on how good he is at handling them, they don't even have to have that but it is easier (less manipulation) I'll bet the cups make noise when they are clapped into place. You might ask him whether you can mark the top coins, say with magic marker. A good manipulator can pull the coins from the top container and "palm" them, perhaps assisted by a hollow bottom that allows shaking to "prove" the coins are still in the cup. The palmed coins are deposited in the lower cup. If you don't know it already, a good manipulator can work directly in front of you with cards, coins, or cigarettes and move them from palm side to back side and you will never see them. Hand magic.
