I simply am not comfortable performing while sitting, for the most part, and I have no idea why.

There are times when sitting is ok, but I will most often find any excuse to stand to perform magic.

I love the idea of sitting down and doing formal close-up work. Unfortunately it doesn't get to happen often. I've adapted to standing, but when I can sit, I'm usually standing most of the time. I like the idea of standing for some, and sitting for other routines. I proper servante is all one needs to do lapping while standing, and you can even "lap" multiple coins with no problems if constructed right. It's great for productions as well. I'm desiging another servante that actually can exchange pockets for different effects. Of course it is useless if you are not behind a table!!

I've been doing my close up (as opposed to the walk-around that I do) standing while using the wonderful School for Scoundrels street table. It looks classy and has the turnover section that allows one to have a close up pad and a hard surface in a matter of seconds.

The bag that you can purchase makes this a very convenient addition to my show.

The main reason I prefer sitting is the use of my lap. If I could find a good small - medium sied servante to take the place of my lap then I could easily perform the act standing. I do like sitting because it creates a more intimate setting with the audience
