Magic Shows
I have recently completed construction on a new table for pitching Svengali decks at the flea market:
I used Don Driver's pin-joint from his Svengali Pitch DVD as my basic blue print. The biggest modification I made was using a very lightweight luan board instead of plywood ... thus, there was no need to knock out the hinges as it is light enough to be carried while folded. In fact, the entire stand can be carried in just one trip to the truck!
Because luan board is very flimsy, I had to put a frame under the top board. With the shelf in place, the entire assembly is 'locked' in place making it quite sturdy. It can easily support the amount of weight I will be placing on it.
Initially, it was only to be used at the flea market ... but once I finished it, I got to thinking there is no reason I can't take it to Barefoot Landing. So tonight, I took it to Barefoot Landing. I used it as a backdrop and performed in front of it. The 'MAGIC SHOWS' continued to pull people in even after it got dark! I really like the new pitch stand. : )
Here it is in all it's glory at Barefoot Landing complete with close-up pad.

Very cool. I only have one suggestion - put your name on it. Anyone can do magic shows, but only one person can do a Joe Joe magic show. I believe in plastering your name everywhere, so that people remember the performer rather than a just a nameless magic guy.
