STACKED
MAGIC TABLE FOR DICE STACKING PLUS A++
Some years ago Pete Biro had suggested to me that I make some of my Tabman Tables with a hard Formica surface on the back for stacking dice. I'm sorry I waited so long because this might be the most versitile magic table I've made (and I've made a lot of them for artists like Michael Ammar, Ray Mertz, Jim Sisti, Pete Biro, Jim Patton at The Magic Castle and many others). Early versions of the Tabman Tables have become collectors items around the world.
I am proud to have worked with Pete and to have learned dice stacking from him. Last week I made up a half dozen of these. They are 25.5" x 16.5" with expensive Mali cloth (100% wool gaming table cloth that you find on the finest gaming tables in casinos around the world) with a quarter inch of blackjack table padding.
The flip side has a layer of black Formica bonded to the 3/4" Birch plywood base. The table frame is finished out in walnut or cherry trim, stained and given three coats of satin finish polyurethane.
Please note: The table frames are prefectly straight. I took the pics using a wide lens in my light tent and the curves are from barrel distortion in the camera lens.
If you've been thinking about getting a table like this (it's extra large for the street when used on an X or Z frame stand) then this one is perfect for that.
