I got tech class this year and I was wondering what should I make. I was thinking about making a close-up table does that sound good?

That sounds lke a great project. You can go as elaborate or simple as you wish. Black art wells, etc, coin and card clips under the edges --- Lots of opportunity fro creativity and craftmanship!
Go for it! BroDavid

Ok that is one problem ...I don't know any ways to gimmick a table. Also I want to make the table compact so I can put it away in a case (and I don't mean a tray table thing)
Right now I'm going to make a mirror is there anyway to gimmick it and if there is what should I do?

Wikiro, you are thinking in the wrong direction. Don’t think, “I have a (whatever) how can I gimmick it?” Rather think, “I want to product (whatever) effect, how would I do it?” Then build that.
What do you want your mirror to do? Do you want to be able to penetrate it? To bend it? To "whatever" it? What do you want your table to do, if anything? There are literately hundreds of plans and ideas for using a mirror in magic, or gimmicking a mirror for magic. There are probably a hundred more different designs of tables, even close-up tables to make. You have to figure your need first, then design and build to that need. Maybe you should build a bookshelf to hold all your magic books and tapes. That would be a good project. In fact that is the very project that I am now working on!

Thanks mumblepease you always have something good to say now I know exactly what I want. I want to make a wand go through it (just got one and I need it to do something since it is a normal one) or something bigger. Thanks again mumblepease anything you have to say helps me. Also I was thinking of getting The Table book II.
Anyone know a reflecting subsance that can stretch and also hide a hole in the center of it? It doesn't have to be reflective either. Does anyone know of any books that teach you how to make a wand penatrate a mirror or any book that teaches you how to make anything penatrate a mirror like a arm or pen.

...think not that all wisdom is in your school. You may have studied other paths,but, it is important to remember that no matter who you are or where you come from, there is always more to learn.

I hate to differ with BroDavid who is usually right on, but I don't think that you could get away with a black art well for closeup.
Humbly, Sid
