Weird magic trick......

This is kind of creepy.
It has to be some sort of "special" table, but can anyone figure out the mechanics?

My guess is that the table collapses in on itself, pushes outward, and slides back after he passes through. Which explains why he needed to cover the end of the table when he exited. Pretty cool trick though, haven't seen one like that before.

He could charge the net while playing ping pong!

Somehow at each end the table folds out of the way, thats why his coat hides things, the middle length is just tightly spread rubber with a long slit. The real trick is how the table interlocks on each end to keep the two sides from collapsing together as he pushs them apart entering and leaveing.

You can see the seams of the device on the ends of the table, also just after he finishes a glare goes across the table surface and you can see the joint there too, lining up with the tan thing in the middle. Rubber with a slit, that's a good idea.

I think he, not his assistant, was sawn in half in a previous trick...
