I have used a whole bunch of different tables for my magic. Really I'd just hope that it makes the magic easier to see. I think that even a small table would help that.

Jeff Prace has a DVD called gum, he has many gum tricks. Calen Morelli and Casshan Wallace both have work with him too. There's wrap it up and Juicier Fruit by Jay Sankey. There's also a DVD by Kevin Schaller as well. There are 2 free effects on the Wire. Jay Grills had one and if I remember...

It's completely possible, Eric Ross has a version of this same plot. No signatures are used but the magician doesn't have to even touch the decks. It's available on his At the Table Lecture, it is the 2 deck effect he performed on Ellen here. The trick is at 3:50
