xxovercastxxsays...While it doesn't account for the insane level of activity we see here, the Wikipedia article is interesting nonetheless.

ponceleonsays...Wait, he clearly states he's faking it, but how the hell? Quick! Get P&T in here!
johncusick2says...looks like brown is holding the corner with his right hand all the time. could be magnets too. anyway no such thing as magic, just sleight of hand
spoco2says...He has wonderful stagecraft. The story of the history, the photos, the music, the lighting, the whole 'antique' feel of it all. Wonderful stuff.
And a cool trick
messengersays...I'm guessing there are several devices working at different times, and while it appears one is being disproven, another is being used. This relies on the audience thinking it's a single trick rather than several.
First, there's a wire or some other physical device that moves the table around the floor when it's just the audience member touching it. From then on, notice Darren is careful to have firm contact with the table at all times while it's flying. There's a bar that Darren is holding under the cloth with his right hand, and he can use it to hold the table up and manipulate it. The wire is used again, but Darren is holding the table up and the wire is relaxed and droops down beside the table long enough for him to pass his hand over it (putting the whole table through a hoop would have discovered the wire). The name box is fixed to the table with magnets so Darren can manipulate the table holding the box, then at the end the wire is used again as he pushes the table down.
All speculation of course, but that's how it could be done.
