The art of "Table Hopping" or "Close-up magic" is to maintain the level of surprise and spontaneity and then blend it with true magical expertise. Whether it is defying, bending or merely suspending the very laws of nature, King Robert will captivate, enthrall and mesmerise everyone with his special brand of magic and humour.
The audience will become connected to each other as King Robert involves them in two senses. One they can touch, examine and choose the objects used (even use their own eg: a finger ring or a borrowed bill) and the other that the magic is personalized to suit the spectator be it a city gent or a Texan cowboy!
The magic has a furious pace not allowing the audience to catch their breath between stupefying effects!
