TWO new things...
http://www.wack-o-magic.com/wackomagic/Devils_Hank.html and the new TABLE that no one has been talking about.. because I wanted it to be RIGHT before word got out... http://www.wack-o-magic.com/wackomagic/E......ble.html This table has to be seen to be believed... it really IS a work of art!! These are made custom.. and the covering can be done in almost any color for an additional $30... though I'm a big fan of the netural gray... and since it comes with velcro installed.. you can make any kind of drape or banner for the front! |

Nice work.
I'm not sure if this is me thinking like a magician but I don't like that the hank is different on each side. Does this not broadcast the fact that this isn't simply one piece of material but rather two pieces with a space for hiding things between them? |

The Café is a great resource. I think it might be a good idea to use it to find out what people want and would find practical rather than just flog your awkward wares once created.

I think the table/case looks awesome, and so does the mis-made monster. I sent you an email Michael.

I have to agree with George about the Devils Hank, plus where was that 'no sag' feature in the video? The table is also not my cup of tea... just as well as you won't ship it to the UK!

Rereading my post I think I was a little grumpy/harsh, so apologies.
I'm sure you're other products are great but neither of these seem sensible or practical and could've done with a bit of input from the good people of the Café before going into production. What happens to the stuff on the table when you open it to get something else out? Looks kinda awkward to carry too. |

Wacko's contribution to this prop is a step backwards (in my opinion) b/c it's obvious that it's 2 pieces of cloth that have been sewn together which would give the spectator the impression that there is space between the two pieces to hide the vanished object. Whereas the hank looks visually stunning, it's not going to be deceptive. I think the table is going to be hit or miss depending on the performer. Some may like some may not. I don't but that doesn't mean it's not a good table. It may be the perfect solution for some performers...tho for the asking price, one could buy a Lefler Table or for a fraction of the price, make their own setup. I use a very large accordion case and a waiters stand and put a sign on the front of it. My total cost was about $150 including the sign.  This is my entire preschool show all loaded into it...  I think my table works great for me, but it may not work for others. My entire show fits inside for a quick load in and set up. The same could be said for Wacko's table. Personal taste and all that jazz...

Ha-HA!! Christopher got suckered into the talking-toilet-roll thing!!
(just kidding...it's a cool set-up) I thought whak-o's table was GREAT!! And the price is actually quite reasonable compared to a lot of other tables out there. If you want this, I'd get it QUICK because I've got hunches in bunches that these are gonna go fast, and take awhile to replenish.
Everybody wants to beleive.....we just help them along.

Look for "Table (Laflin)": http://www.chaletstephens.com/catalog.html It's also made by Fairchild Magic, with the Laflin's permission: http://www.fairchildmagic.com/fairchild_magic_054.htm In several of Duane Laflin's videos, he is using one of these tables for his magic. You either leave the top / shelf open at all times. Or you learn to remove the item off the top, to exchange it for the next one. - Donald

Just so you know I listen.... the devils hanks are going to be made with the same fabric on both sides... and I'll make some in more plain colors as well. There was a thinking behind the two color handkerchief.. but that reasoning has been out reasoned by a much better argument. I agree and will make changes.... see how EASY that is when an argument is well made and reasonable?
for Magic George... I DID INDEED get a TON of input on the tables... from guys who do 30 shows a year.. and guys who do 500+ shows a year... school show performers, library performers and mixed show performers. I know every table can't be right for everyone.. but I made this lightweight, reasonably sized, and durable. The inside is pretty flexible, and for the price in comparison to many of the professional tables out there.. the price is not bad. |

Fair play. Good call on the hanks.
Maybe it's just me (and Gary) on the table then. I'm glad you've got a market for them. I used a rolon style table for years but am currently using something I've developed myself. I'm thinking of getting it made up by an expert. |

How much does the table and frame weigh? It has many of the same features as my setup, except you have casters on it. I think it will be a hit, because it seems much lighter than a Lefler table.

It looks like the frame unfolds and actually creates an upper cavity for the table box to set into? If so, that seems much better than just setting the box on top of some fold-out legs.
Any chance of getting an option for a fold-down handle and some wheels, like a rolling suitcase? Or might be better just to get a separate folding dolly ( http://www.amazon.com/Magna-Cart-Persona......00HVVSDU ). Ed |

In all honesty, I really thought it was the spider flex table. I'm not saying it's bad - just not me! I don't like the spider flex Qube Table either.
http://www.spider-evoflex.com/product_in......guage=en Christopher, loving the set up. Mine is similar - I've no pics, but you can see it on the video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Si2u27Otk......TUIBAQ8= Gary http://www.garydunn.com |

Makeupguy, you pm'ed me but I'll answer here
you've changed the hank - good, now drop the price. I do manufacture and sell devil's hanks to dealers in the UK and know exactly how much they cost even with UK labour rates. Also this is an existing silk, nothing special or unique. Why is this not in the silk section of the Café. the table is simply a box with a sliding lid on a spider frame - I could give a lot of quotes of how to make your own in amateur magicians magazines that look very similar(including the FCMUK publication Viola). Personally I hate these, and could see anything heavy overbalancing and causing the whole table to fall. Also why is this in the children's section? IT IS A TABLE. If this is an advertisement then please pay for it like the other dealers.
