This is the first close up mat I've ever owned. Performing impromptu magic at dinners, family
gatherings dictated I use what's at hand, place settings , napkins etc. Using the close up mat for
practice I find it inherently satisfying. In a coins across routine the coins slide better and seem
easier to pick up. Visually appealing as the silver coins really stand out against the black mat and
inexplicably sound better, they ring when dropped together. Works great with my cups & balls routine
also. I enjoy using this mat and hope to use it in a planned performance.
