How to make a card pad

[Ang]

Hi guys

I just came up with an excellent idea, while I was making a suitcase for my props. I thought I'd put a card pad on the lid of the case, so during shows I won't have to borrow a table instead I'd just close my suitcase and then I could use it as a card pad. So do any of you guys know how to make a card pad?

I just bought a case that comes with a close up pad on top of it.

Or you could save yourself the time and wasted effort, and just perform effects that don't require table space.

as dai vernon said you will need to do linking rings, cups and balls, cards, and coins to become a good magician. So it isn't wasted time.

He never said, and if you believe that you have to learn all of that to become a "good magician", then you are pretty much over exerting yourself. Also Vernon has been dead since 1991, so his "views" on a lot of subjects are pretty much incredibly out of date and shouldn't be taken too seriously.

Randy, I see your point here but doing only do stand up tricks won't get you far in the art of magic.

Yes I have the photo up on my facebook.
Search Pete Pridanonda and you'll see the photo on my profile.
Hope this gave you an idea!

Woah, doing an effect that requires any table space is wasted effort. That's a new one

Sure I think he has things that I might consider out of date now, but I don't think I would consider a lot of his views to be out dated. Maybe a slim minority of his opinions

Alright: The pad. Try storing it in your case. Drop the pad on top of the case when you're ready to use it. That should help it stay cleaner. The bottoms of the pads tend to have non-stick surfaces. It's worth trying, at least.

If you absolutely must stick fabric to anything then I suggest Fabri-Tack. Fabric stores or even the fabric/sewing/craft section of a big chain store tend to sell this wonderful goo.

Houdini, billed as the King of Cards, died almost 85 years ago. There's still no sin in learning "old" card magic. I doubt there's any sin in learning any other old acts.

If you are talking about a close up mat for cards then there is a simple solution. What I did was I got a tool case from home depot and bout a close up mat from amazon.com and I put some Velcro on the case and the mat so I could remove it, and it works great!
