Whats the best way to make a collapsible table?

Im making a beer pong table out of an 8 by 4 piece of wood, Its a project just to keep me occupied during the summer while im not at work and bored. I bought collapsible legs that I am going to drill into it and i want to cut holes in it so the cups dont move, My problem is getting the table to collapse. I really want to put a hinge on the table but im not sure how to or what kind of hing i would use, Do i cut the table in half and attach the hinges to both sides and it will work then? Sorry I never really learned how to do much wood working.
