Card Switching or “Holdout” Table. Dr. X, Duluth, MN, Contemporary. An apparently innocent, thin, and nondescript felt-covered card table that allows the operator to secretly add a card to his hand. The clever device hidden inside the table is activated with pressure from the base of the operators hand, into which the card is pivoted from its secret location. After using the table, the mechanism can be locked so as to keep the secret concealed from those unaware of it. Formica covered wood with folding metal legs and inlaid felt top. Modeled after a table built by Ray Carson. 32” square and standing 30” high. Very good.
