This is the kind of gig I really enjoy:

Close up magic.

I found that setting up a table to perform close-up magic is the best way to make it work. If I would have to walk around when booked as a roving performer doing magic tricks, well, this presents specific challenges which limit the variety that can be included in the performance. So even this is classed as roving magic, I am actually stationary.

 

Having a sturdy table is very important, since children always lean on the table, with all their strength, too, it seems.

 

To date I have built 8 different tables for close up magic, but the $39 fold up table I got at O f f i c e W o r k s is just the thing needed to handle the weight.

Here I am at HiSense Arena at a Camp Australia event.

I mean look at these kids pressing on the table. You’d think they were trying to sink it!
