I seldom use a close up pad since much of my work is done strolling in cocktail situations, however
during our current situation with the COVID-19 I am doing a lot of online magic. I borrowed a pad
from a friend but I really wanted one of my own. I can not speak more highly about the quality and
service that Penguin Magic delivers. The Pad is of superior quality but if that is not enough the
service that the people at Penguin Magic offer is second to none. Penguin is now my first go to
online magic store.

Perfect softness
Great value for money
I got black and green, but I need to get a smaller
size for different situations. This size is great for home practice and when you have a table.
Best value for money pad IMO

I absolutely love this pad! It is super thick, yet can roll up nicely to fit in my box. The black
one, which I purchased, covers up thread from a reel, like a tarantula. I use it for my cups and
balls (my favorite trick. Purchase the penguin cups) the balls on the pad are silent and it prevents
the cups from being dinged. I think it is great for a matrix effect too.

I’ve been looking for a pad that would be good for coin assembly work… this is it!!!! Love it! Price
is good too.

I was using a sub-par memory foam bath mat before this. I started looking for close up pads and this
one had lots of great reviews. Let me just say that it is awesome! Easy to keep clean, you can roll
it up and it springs back to flat again.. I was worried it would be too thick, based on the other
two versions of thickness, but I am glad I chose this one... it's great. I am using it for Cups &
Balls, Chop Cup and a bunch of random card tricks, and I love it!

Murphy's Deluxe Close-Up Pad is absolutely fabulous! As good as it gets, highly recommended!

This is a great pad. It's a good size for a tabletop or breaking out a few quick routines on the go.
It has a good feel when working with cards and coins. I used the last one as a practice pad and a
working pad (until the cats decided to make it theirs) Apparently, it's comfortable to sleep on too.
It's a good pad and a good size.
Very well put together and nice size.
This is a nice pad for a good price.
