This
$15 close-up mat is one of my favorite magic-related purchases ever (no doubt a combination of price and utility). You can fold it up and throw into a backpack, no worries. When you receive it, likely folded around your other TCC purchases with that order, it will be folded into a weird mess. But if you straighten it out and iron it, you’ll be left with a perfect little piece of everyday carry (assuming you like working from a close-up mat). You can also fold it up to hold a few small props in your bag, as weird as that sounds, due to its naturally “sticky” nature (owing to the adhesive quality of the pad’s microfibers). It’s an odd and oddly satisfying accessory.
