The Magic Table in the News

10/18/2014

3 Comments

 
For decades magicians have been gathering for lunch in Manhattan to hang out and share tricks. "The Magic Table," which now meets each Friday at the Cafe Edison on West 47th Street has attracted some big-time attention in the news media lately. An article on the group appeared in the Wall Street Journal last Sunday, and then, this past Friday, a crew from NBC's Today show was on hand to cover the gathering. Correspondent Jenna Wolf joined the table to witness miracles and also express her frustration at not knowing how the tricks were done. She also interviewed the various magicians about their interest in magic and why they participate in the group. Among the conjurors on hand were George Schindler, Kenneth Ferst, Rene Clement, Richie Bossong, Jerry and Lee Oppenheimer, Michael Chaut, Scott Mero, and your faithful reporter. During the course of the lunch sponge balls appeared, dollar bills floated, rubber bands melted, and lots of good conversation (and corny jokes) also appeared. 

"The Magic Table" today is spearheaded by Tom Klem who explained that he connected with the group originally as a historian after he was assigned to write an article about the lunchtime meetings years ago. The coverage from the Wall Street Journal and the Today show should go a long way toward assuring that it continues to thrive as a meeting spot for New York's local magic community.

The NBC Today Show has e-mailed that the segment they shot at the Magic Table will run in the 8:30am section of the show. Of course if a big story breaks it could get bumped.

The detailed guide to the 5E wild magic table is given in the player’s handbook. You require the role of a d100 to be able to determine the role of the wild magic surge table 5E effect.
