Hey man I think ur pretty good I have a trick for u to try out its one of mine so if u would like to give it a shot just message me back

[KPayneYT]

I improvised becuase I don't have a DIY store anywhere near me, so I simply put a cutting board into an old plain pillow case and sealed it off, and it works amazingly :]

[srpjr3795]

Hahahahah it depends on how big your wood is. LMAO

[MrMagic785]

What were the dimensions for this mat?

[owaboutapropername]

i have some sponge based carpet under my table, which is covered with a green paterned base. For a mat, you can just by a sheet of neoprene, it is very grippy so won't slip on most surfaces and cards fan realy well over it, also it rolls up so it's easy to carry

[TheGavinfilms]

Jtibo1 i love the bids keep making more

[MrRebel1995]

I thought wood came from grass?

[Thecomputerguy77]

[TallyHoCards9]

[neetnevesyggahs]

Wood comes from trees!? O.o

[Cdropthepro]

@awesomo39 im not even joking hahahahaha it actually tastes amazinggg

[iloveshadowmaster]

hi , may i know what is the type of fabric you use because i'm living in Singapore we don't have the brand 'FELT' 

[jtibo1]

@iloveshadowmaster The type of fabiric is "felt" That is the name on the bag and the name of the fabric!

[iloveshadowmaster]

@jtibo1 ok thanks i will try to find in Singapore :)

[solittleusernames]

@iloveshadowmaster felt is a type of material usually used in card tables and for a good reason...it is usually just perfect. A good example why smooth surfaces are bad for table tricks or poker is because it is much harder to pick up the cards (especially that last card)

[LCer]

Thank you for the video!

But, how it ould be, if you put first some sponge under the black, so you can grab the cards more easily?

[jtibo1]

@LCer Excellent advice. I actually thought of that, but was in a rush to get out of the store. I did however just put an extra piece of felt underneath of it, for that very reason, which seems to work well. I am going to out today to invest in a new close-up mat, probably a 14" X 18" Trevor Duffy if they have them in stock!

[jkcpalmer]

@LCer  I use Shelving mat material its fairly thin and cheap it also stays in place really well.

[grichi1]

Well the thing is.... My wood is not that big.... But i am sure yours is Massive!!! XD

[jtibo1]

@grichi1 Are you speaking figuratively or literally??? Hahahahaha :-)

[grichi1]

@jtibo1 LOL literally!!! if urs is massive u have a serious problem on your hands :D

[wolffmagictricks]

lol at 4:19

[hrtuvchrome]

the only thing I would change about your design is that I would add some sort of rubber to the bottom to help prevent it from sliding. I have two close up pads, one black and one red. they came with a set with 9 decks of different colored bicycle cards, and I don't know the exact size off hand. I use the red one to practice with and the black one if I preform.

[jtibo1]

@hrtuvchrome I didn't put rubber on the bottom because I couldn't find it at the time! My old close-up mat, one I bought from the magic shop a long time ago is flexible and has a non-slip bottom, which is awesome. However, this design actually doesn't slide at all because it is much heavier than a regular mat, so it's not that much of a problem in this case. Thank for commenting and for the suggestions! :-)

[jtibo1]

@themagicmonkey777 lol

[jtibo1]

@booyahshaka91 Thanks for the comment! That's a pretty good price. How big is it and how much did it cost? I am going to pick up another "real" close-up mat, but it's prob gunna run me 30 bucks because I buy it from my local magic shop!

[MrMacgeek1]

@jtibo1 Hey. if you're going to drop a lot of money on a mat, I have some suggestions of good ones. Trevor Duffy close up mats. They're about 20 bucks. I also have another one that's good. If you want, PM me for links.

[jtibo1]

@MrMacgeek1 Deff, you can shoot me some links, but I already am getting one from my magic shop hook-up, but I could always use another one! :-)

[jtibo1]

@themagicmonkey777 Lol Dirty dirty dirty! Hahaha
