Table magic is performed in a close-up setting, typically while seated at a table, often involving cards, coins, or small objects. Table magic allows for intimate performances, with the close proximity enhancing the illusion of impossibility. The difference between table magic and strolling magic is that a strolling magician approaches small groups where everyone is typically standing, whereas the table magician is stationed at the table.
