I am not sure that what I want exists

I have no real knowledge or experience to fall back on

This would be my first of this type of purchase

What I am after [ideally] is:

Something that turns into a small prop table – both so I can occasionally display an effect on it, but mostly so that I can have the items easily ditched/reached

This table would ideally also break down into a carrying case/bag – though I have very few props – it would just be nice for it to all be self-contained [and easily portable all in one unit – with the table]

Now the next requirement – that it would be quite sturdy – well secure enough that I can do a stabbed [nail under bag] type routine

Hopefully all of the above and it wouldn’t weigh too much

I realise there probably is no such thing

But any ideas of what might be the closest fit [?]

To give a short idea of what I might be taking around with me, maybe a few pack small [ahem, play big items] – book tests, ‘nailed it’, packs of cards… so I would think quite a small amount of props [though I am sure that will change as time goes by]

Thanks for any advice/help/abuse

Note - cost is not a big issue - in that I'm not worried about finding a 'cheap' solution but rather the best

I think you might find the Hank Moorehouse - Joe Lefler box table to your liking. It meets all your requirements. There are 2 sizes so get the one that you thinks meets your prop storage.

Some simply use a suitcase placed on a folding card table or restaurant folding stand purchase at most restaurant supply stores.

The suitcase I found was specially made in New York, that will fit as carry-on and under the seat of an airplane.

Call them and they can fix you up. Not that expensive either.

Thanks for that

This one looks rather interesting

Pro Suitcase Table-Retractable Handle

As it seems to be the only one that 'turns' into the normal suitcase with wheels

But I can't seem to see any more details about it - like photos of it when up as a table

AND more importantly - it seems to suggest that they do not sell outside of the US [I'm in the UK]

I will search and see if someone maybe sells them over here

Thanks again

I suggest you 1st contact the referenced manufacturer to have your questions answered.

If you have a magic shop you frequent, and buy from, then contact them, they may be able to order one for you, as this place wholesales.
