Is it possible that there's a mirror or something underneath the table that blocks the audience's view of the things coming up? Or are they all collapsible? I saw it nearly two years ago and I don't particularly recall that scene, so I'm just giving my ideas, not how it's actually done.

I remember days
Or at least I try
But as years go by
They're sort of haze
And the bluest ink
Isn't really sky
And at times I think
I would gladly die
For a day of sky

And Starbucks will use the words 'large' and 'small', not pretentious crap like grande and tall.

Posted: 12/26/07 at 7:35pmSome are collapsable, others are inserted through a hole in the table.

Posted: 12/26/07 at 8:27pmwhen I saw the show, I could see matthew gumley's (michael) reflection of his hand under the table. So there is a mirror.

Posted: 12/26/07 at 10:19pmWell, in Schumacher's book, he mentions the scene. Then he says something like "But you wouldn't want to ruin the magic" or "But there are somethings you have to be in the business to learn"

Posted: 12/28/07 at 3:03amIs the bag propped up against a set piece? I thought I remember seeing a hand go through the bag from the backside facing away from the audience (I was sitting in the balcony).

Posted: 12/28/07 at 8:11amSame here. Infact, one night, I swore I saw a hand try to reach out and grab something which Ashley had pulled out. I think she pulled out the blanket instead of the mirror by accident. Apparently, it happens all the time.
