How to take clear video/pictures of handheld games

I am sick of watching cruddy Youtube videos of handheld games where the camera can't focus on the screen. There's an easy solution: it's called a macro lens. Macro lenses allow the camera to focus on objects that would normally be too close to get anything better than an indistinct blur. They're really easy to make, too; all you need is a simple magnifying glass. Just find any magnifying lens (I ripped one out of an old McDonalds toy) and prop it up in front of your existing camera lens. Presto! The picture is much better.

ROFL!
Anyway, thanks! I completely forgot about macro lenses. I think my new video camera has one.
