close up pads

Unread post by Josh »

*i know this is probably the wrong section for this topic, so it can be moved; or deleted when the question is answered.*

I love cardistry, but at the moment it is getting boring. I've always loved seeing card mechanics do what they do and i would like to start working my way through expert at the card table. However, i am in need of a close up pad and was wondering if anyone could post a link of a relatively cheap pad. (Im not looking for anything overly large).

I think I bought mine at Ellusionist some time long ago, so that's probably not the cheapest one.

It's really great to have one though, as it adds another dimension to your card handling whether it's magic or cardistry.

Check out magictrickstore.com or a few other magic retailers. They usually carry matts on the cheaper side. Also, if you are really trying to save money do a little research on making your own close up pad. It is not difficult.
