Tony Chapparo Special user Albuquerque, NM 704 Posts	Posted: May 20, 2002 08:08 pm 0 I once saw an extension for table hoppers. It was made of wood and would fit on the edge of the table with supports underneath and would allow you to use a close up matt and perform many effects you usually would not do. It used just an inch or so of the table. I forgot where I saw it and at the time I thought it was a great idea! Anyone know where I can find this or heard of something similar? Thanks, Tony Chapparo Tony Chapparo

I will make an announcement in the "Let's Make a Deal" section when it is ready--probably later this year.

Tony Chapparo Special user Albuquerque, NM 704 Posts	Posted: May 21, 2002 09:45 pm 0 I racked my poor little memory and remembered where I saw the darn thing... I ordered one, I have always been a little bummed out that I could not do my chop cup or a matrix, etc. in a walk around situation. If anyone else would like one go to: Al's magic shop http://www.tobias.cc/alsmagic/ click on "entire catalog" and look for: The Incredible CLIP-ON CLOSE-UP TABLE I will let everyone know how it works out! regards, Tony Chapparo Tony Chapparo
Tony Chapparo Special user Albuquerque, NM 704 Posts	Posted: Jun 13, 2002 05:25 pm 0 Well, I got the clip on table but it was damaged in shipping and there are no more to be had. This did turn out to be a good thing, I was able to make my own w/ a little thought and time. It works very nicely and much better than the more expensive one that was damaged! Tony Chapparo

Tony Chapparo Special user Albuquerque, NM 704 Posts	Posted: Jul 18, 2002 09:28 pm 0 Hi Tobias, I glued a close up pad to the table I made, I could just as easily put a cloth around it, but for my purposes just the pad is fine. Tony Chapparo

Tony Chapparo Special user Albuquerque, NM 704 Posts	Posted: Jul 27, 2002 10:48 pm 0 I don't "need" the table, but there are a few routines I like to perform that cannot be done in the hands. I don't like to use the customers table or move glasses and dishes around to make room, so the clip on table suits me. It is all a matter of taste and style I suppose. Tony Chapparo
