How To: Make a Close Up Magic "Mat"

Here is a video explaining close-up magic mats and explaining how you can go about making your own in order to save a bunch of money! Regular close-up magic mats cost anywhere from 30 dollars and up.

Feel free to post a video response of a close-up mat you made, whether you made it the same way I did or your own way. We'd all love to see different ways and ideas of going about making one!

Enjoy...

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!

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!

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 :]

@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)
