How the Magic Table is Breaking Down Communication Barriers

The Magic Table is a unique piece of furniture that combines the functionalities of a regular table with advanced interactive technology. It is designed to provide interactive experiences and entertainment for users of all ages and abilities. The Magic Table features a touch-sensitive surface, which allows users to interact with various digital content and applications projected onto the tabletop. Users can play games, solve puzzles, create artwork, and engage in various educational activities. The table can also be used for group activities, encouraging social interaction and collaboration. One of the key features of the Magic Table is its accessibility.

We put a shadow box in a bag.
We put victory cartons in a bag.
We put a human-sized square circle in a bag.
We even put Bryce's Screens in a bag.
Yet, after all that, you just might agree we saved the best for last.

Other people might have suffered less, but I, who had always delighted in clearness, fitness, and rule, who was enamored of logic and who worshiped reason and sense I could not stand this lawless force in my house, I could not stand it in the world. BUT THAT S NOT A PROBLEM - I hired a woman who does custom sewing to make a nice-looking cover for the table, embroidered with my name on the front, and with numerous pockets to hold close-up magic sewn on the back.

One of the key features of the Magic Table is its accessibility. It is specifically designed to be inclusive and can be used by people with physical, cognitive, and sensory disabilities. The touch-sensitive surface is easy to use and accommodates different levels of mobility.

There are no doubt a number of purpose-built tables for magicians depending on your setting, style and effects. Some quite expensive. It would be interesting to share your recommendations for performance tables. After looking for some while, here are two great, affordable options I've found. They can be customized, as I've done, to suit your own purposes. They're both quite portable and show well. The first is a portable bar height, lots of shelf space, but can be folded down and carried flat in a canvas bag. The other is also able to break down for transport, has a sold base with wheels, adjustable height. Just FYI.

Paul Daniels had a great case/table. Michael Amman had an easy, economical idea for a worker's table. There are some plans for practical busker's tables out there. There are also some with clever approaches to wells/servantes. What's worked for you or caught your eye?

Nice table. How does it travel. Easy to bring in/out of gigs. Here is what I am using these days. They are pretty sturdy.

Steve Schneider makes custom magic tables that are top notch, like the ones you see in the castle. I have one.

Have you actually bought and used these tables. Just curious before I make the financial plunge

My main table is one I built myself, but I also have a Worx Sidekick table that I purchased at my local Lowe's home-improvement store. Home Depot also carries them, as does Amazon. This table folds in half, and the legs quickly collapse to store inside the folded table. It's very light, compact, and easy to carry when collapsed, but quite sturdy when set up. It's designed for workshop use and has several built-in features making it very handy if you're a DIY / home-improvement / woodworker kinda guy. (It has a ruler, wells to hold small tools or hardware, and holes for bench dogs). So, you may get double use out of this. It's designed to take a beating. When you click the link below, you'll see that it definitely has a workshop-looking top on it. BUT THAT'S NOT A PROBLEM - I hired a woman who does custom sewing to make a nice-looking cover for the table, embroidered with my name on the front, and with numerous pockets to hold close-up magic sewn on the back. With the cover on, you'd swear it was built just for magic.

I also had Pattrick's Magic Services (pattricksmagic.com) make an embroidered close-up mat for me, cut to the perfect size to fit on this table with just the right amount of border. Pattrick can make mats of almost any dimension, so I highly recommend getting one sized to match whatever table you build or buy.

Those who don't believe in magic will never find it.

I just picked this table up and it works like a dream! It's light, quick, remarkably stable. It's also exceedingly ugly, but a 90" round table cloth covers it perfectly! Thanks again for the find!

Greetings;
I have 7 tables, from Suitcase tables to Briefcase tables, each has its own good points
as well as bad points. When I perform close up, I used to keep everything in a Briefcase Table
with a detachable base. It involved two parts to carry, the top (case) and the base.

For the stand-up act, the suitcase filled my needs, however, they are heavy as well as being
bulky to transport.

My biggest problem was finding the right table for my lectures. Recently I acquired a table
from R B Tableworks and am totally pleased with it. The table has a half moon shape and is large
enough for spreading out during my lectures. The plush upholstered top is classy and I have had
many very nice comments on it. Mine came with the optional heavy duty slip over cover for the top
and I just recently had a canvas case with shoulder strap made to slip it in for easy carry.

The table weighs only 16 lbs. total and goes from compact to performance ready in less than a
minute. These tables are custom made by Ron Bell and he does a top notch job on them. I like the
ability of being able to tilt the top when explaining a routine to provide optimum viewing from
people attending a lecture.

I have no financial interest in Ron's business but when something has this much impact on making
me look good, then I am happy to recommend them. You can check them out at www.ronbelltables.com
In all the lectures I have done so far since having this table, I have always been asked where did
you get that table, so people do notice quality in a professional performance table.

Just my two cents, for what it is worth to you all.

All the Best
Marty

After much searching, I found a metal vintage suitcase that’s 32”x14”x8 that is big enjoy ugh for all my props for busking. I put it on a tray stand and it’s perfect height for cups and balls or other routines. Being metal the suitcase provides soldi surface for performing.

I have sign stored on inside of suitcase lid. It has mangets on it, so I take it out and easily attach it to front of suitcase. I could easily attach a servante on back if I’d like.

Suitcase was $10 on Craigslist, and tray stand was $5.

Because I am usually on my mobility scooter, I bought this one from Amazon. It works well, especially because I am generally doing period events, e.g. California Gold Rush or ren faires.

Reviews for "The Magic Table: A Tool for Cognitive Development"

1. Sarah - 2/5 - I was really disappointed with "The Magic Table". The storyline was confusing and poorly developed, making it hard to follow and stay engaged. The characters were one-dimensional and lacked depth, making it difficult to connect with any of them. Additionally, the dialogue felt forced and unnatural, further adding to the overall lackluster experience. Overall, I wouldn't recommend this book to others looking for a captivating and well-written tale.

2. John - 1/5 - "The Magic Table" was a complete waste of time. The plot was incredibly predictable, and I found myself bored and uninterested within the first few chapters. The writing style was also subpar, with numerous grammatical errors and awkward sentences. The characters were plain and unmemorable, and I couldn't bring myself to care about their fates. I would strongly advise against picking up this book if you're in search of a thrilling and engaging read.

3. Emily - 2/5 - I found "The Magic Table" to be quite underwhelming. The concept had a lot of potential, but it fell flat in execution. The pacing was inconsistent, with some parts dragging on while others felt rushed. The world-building was also lacking, leaving me with unanswered questions and a sense of confusion. While the writing itself was decent, it wasn't enough to save the overall lack of substance in the story. I was left feeling unsatisfied and would not recommend this book to others seeking a captivating fantasy read.

4. Michael - 3/5 - "The Magic Table" had its moments, but overall, it failed to impress me. The plot felt disjointed and lacked a cohesive flow, making it difficult to fully immerse myself in the story. The characters had potential, but their development was weak and left them feeling flat. However, there were a few intriguing twists and turns that kept me mildly entertained. While not a complete waste of time, I wouldn't prioritize this book on my reading list.
