The BC Close-Up Table

Professional magician Bob Chua - known to us affectionately as simply "Uncle Bob" has long been revered as one of Singapore's FINEST closeup performers and childrens' entertainers. But what we DID NOT know was just how skillful a mechanical 'engineer' he is.

Uncle Bob has been performing closeup magic for over 20 years and he is one of the few performers (like myself...) who use a portable closeup table for his shows. As such, he has gone through great pains in search of the 'perfect' table for use with his closeup shows.

After years of searching and refinement, he has finally decided to MAKE his own.

I must say, when he showed me his initial prototype for the table, I HAD to have one. My heart was so dead set on getting it I told him right then and there that I NEEDED it. And boy was I SO right - the table's quality is truly in a class of its own. I have NEVER come across a better build or design. It is elegant and beautiful to behold; it is light - all the parts are machine precision made in aluminium - the heaviest part of the table is the table top made of perspex; and it is STABLE - you perform any of your heavy hitting routines on this table and it will NOT give an inch. The best part - EVERYTHING is easily disassembled for packing and transport!Don't take my word for it - the pictures speak for themselves. This is the best buy I've made in years.

Early Prototype of table that used a tripod - you can see the tremendous difference... :P
