 Hey everybody, welcome back to Magic Orthodoxy. My name is David and this is a magic review. Hey today, we're gonna look at the Midnight Black close-up pad from Magic Makers. This is a close-up pad. So if you work with cards or if you've seen people do magic tricks on the internet with cards, you've seen them probably use a close-up pad. If you don't have a close-up mat, I would definitely say you probably really want one, especially if you deal with cards a lot, especially if you're fanning or spreading cards on the table. I think a close-up pad would definitely help your working routine. Now this, okay, this is pretty big. It's 17 by 14 and it's Midnight Black. All right, and it's, I got mine on Amazon. All right, it's on Amazon right now. Like I said, it's by Magic Makers and it's only $13. I think the reason why a lot of people stay away from close-up pads is because of their expense and there definitely are some awesome ones out there. There definitely are some ones that are expensive, but $13 on Amazon, shipped to you free, I think is definitely in your price range. It's neoprene. It's got a neoprene back. It's got a really beautiful gaming table surface. And I think Magic Makers makes some really good products. Like I said, it's 17 by 14. So it's not huge, but it's also not small. I certainly wouldn't want to get anything smaller than this. Okay. And looking at the size, I think you'd agree. I wouldn't want anything ever smaller. When you buy your close-up pad, make sure you pay careful attention to the size. Okay. I would not get anything smaller than 17 by 14. I think this is the perfect size for gaming, perfect size for gambling routines, cards, card tricks, all that kind of stuff. If you read some of the reviews on Amazon, people will say that it comes to you and it smells kind of like chemicals. That's just the neoprene. That's just the material that it's made from. Longer it stays in your house and longer it stays with your stuff, it'll start to smell like you after a while. Don't worry. It's just, it's rubber, right? Rubber has a funny smell to it. So definitely go and check that out. Go check out the Magic Maker's close-up pad on Amazon. Like I said, it's only 13 bucks. I definitely think you will like it. Also, real quick, I wanted to give a shout out to Keshav Manjia. He sent me this prototype deck of his new design. So this is the Millennium deck. Keshav says that he'll probably be releasing this on Kickstarter around early November. So be on Kickstarter around the first week of November. Keep a lookout for his brand new deck. It's got a really beautiful back design, very super thin border right there on the edge and just original pips, original pip layout, original cords, original jokers. He's really designed this deck from the ground up and put a lot of work into it. So check that out. All right. So that's it for this review. As always, I want to thank all of my sponsors and thank all of you, my loyal viewers, for making this channel what it is. I love you guys. I'll see you next time.
