In the first known magic book The Discoverie of Witchcraft published in 1584, an effect was described:
"To make a groat or a testor to sinke through a table, and to vanish out of a handkercher verie strangelie."
It was the first record of the Coins Through Table plot in magic history. In the following hundreds of years, the plot has become a treasure for magicians, and countless books and videos have documented various Coins Through Table routines. It is a timeless classic in coin magic.
David Roth created a new and genius version called "The Table", published in Expert Coin Magic. Three coins penetrate through a little dollhouse table visibly, allowing the audience to see the coins clearly penetrate the little table. In the end, as an additional spin, the little table penetrates the real table. It makes a difference to the Coins Through Table plot.

After nearly half a year of repeated prototyping and testing, we have produced what we believe is the most delicate and practical little coin table available -- The Table.
Different from the original version in the David Roth book, The Table is a Slot version that is better known today.
The most important feature of the Slot version is that it does not require any gaff coins and can be performed with ordinary coins, making its handling more simple and more casual.
It was originally designed by Mark Tillinghast, then passed on to Chazpro Magic and the well-known craftsmanship brand RNT2, and now belongs to Airship Magic Mfg.
You show a small ornate wooden table that can be handed out for examination. You then introduce 4 half dollars and one by one cause the coins to visibly penetrate the table with no cover. At the end of the performance, you drape black silk over the table and with a gentle press cause the table to penetrate the working surface or vanish entirely.
The shape of the small Tillinghast coin table has been carefully designed by professional furniture designers. Every detail is unique from the surface and sides to the table legs.
The gimmick has been repeatedly tested to make sure the depth and height are suitable for almost all coins of 25mm~30mm diameter.
The whole table is made of solid African rosewood, processed with the craftsmanship and quality of high-end furniture. The tablecloth used for the end of the routine has a neat edge.
No Coins Included, you can use any half dollars.
