This picture is of the magic table I loved when I worked at the now closed Magic Bar Momentos. There was the main table which was good but I loved performing at this smaller one on the other side of the bar. It was custom made for the Magic Bar with room for the magician in the middle. In the  picture you can see the blue close-up mat, that is were I sat. The table had prop drawers and a great servante. I could also control the lighting around the table from under the table. Before I came to Japan I rarely performed sit down close-up magic I normally did table hopping style close-up magic and never sat down. After coming to Japan and working here is where I fell in love with sit down close-up magic. I felt the situation was more intimate than standing up and doing close-up magic for me. The table was perfect size to reach and talk to any of the spectators. Working here I did not only perform magic but had to make conversation with the guests before and after the show and this table make it the perfect setting. This bar is now closed and I really miss performing here. If I ever have a chance to open a magic bar I will make a table similar to this one. My magic really grew in sophistication performing at this table and I miss it!
