A simian observes a magic illusion It was a bright sunny day at the zoo, and the crowd of visitors was bustling with excitement. In one corner, a group of people gathered around a small enclosure. Inside was a cleverly designed magic trick - an illusion box that would amaze anyone who watched it. Among the crowd was a curious simian, perched on a branch, observing the commotion below. His eyes were fixed on the magic trick, and he watched closely as the magician positioned the box on a table. The box was made of shiny metallic material with intricate patterns engraved on it, adding to its mystique.

Is a close up pad worth it?
I just started doing card tricks and I really like them. I already ordered 2 bicycle decks 1 P orcelain and D ragonbacks . But my question is should I buy a close up pad? I do my magic on a decent razer gaming mousepad and Its's fine but is a close up pad "better"?

Yeah I was just looking at their decks and I literally fell in love with the "Love me" deck. I think I'm going to buy it.

If you're used to a soft surface, like a close up pad, and then you end up performing on a wood table, you'll run into issues. Little issues mostly, but things that can disrupt your flow in performance.
The flip side of that is that if you're used to using a table and then have an opportunity to use a pad, you'll be fine.
Personally, I practice on all types of surfaces. I actually have a big close up pad that's pretty nice (The Ellusionist Colossal Close Up Pad), but I rarely use it. Mostly I'm on a wood table with a table cloth on it (ie: my dining room table)

With a flick of his wrist and a few magical incantations, he made the object disappear. The simian could hardly believe his eyes - it was as if the object had simply vanished into thin air. The magician continued to perform baffling tricks, each one leaving the simian in awe. At one point, he made a deck of cards float in the air, defying gravity and logic. The simian let out a gasp of amazement, unable to comprehend the secret behind this illusion. The simian's observations brought to light a fascinating insight. Despite being highly intelligent, the simian was unable to decipher the mechanics of the magic trick. While he could understand the concept of objects disappearing and reappearing through sleight of hand, the simian was perplexed by the otherworldly nature of the illusion. The main idea here is that despite the simian's intelligence, it was unable to comprehend the magical illusion..
