Gee, these are nice--thick, solid, and well-made. I've bought two!

If you are looking to buy a close up pad wether it’s to replace an existing worn out one or it’s your first pad don’t hesitate just get this one, it’s a great size very durable and Has just the right amount of give, at this price it’s an absolute bargain especially if you buy enough to get free shipping and why wouldn’t you? Penguin magic has everything you need at great prices and fantastic customer service and are now my favourite magic suppliers even though I live in a different country I have never had any problems with delivery , ps they didn’t bribe me to say this I genuinely mean it 🙂

This close-up pad is great! Excellent quality! Surface is perfect for spreads. Color is although fine. Highly recommend!

This pad I not only got with such fast delivery and a personal e-mail touch, the pad itself is amazing and the price is unbeatable, never hesitate to purchase from Penguin Magic !!

I am a die hard Magician's Choice customer and these close up pads are thicker and more responsive to the touch. The best value in a close up pad I have found so far.

I love it..

Even people around me who know nothing about magic love this pad.

It's professional looking/ no need to get the real expensive mats.

The red color really sticks out, and I do a lot with playing cards, tarot cards and angel oracle cards

The Murphy's close-up pad I received appeared to have been previously used and returned. There was no plastic around it and no label. Additionally, there was a two-inch wide discolored area from the top of the pad to the bottom.

That said, the gentleman who called me in response to my email was wonderful. He offered to replace the pad quickly and got the brand new one to me in a hurry. The new one was perfect and was still in its original bag with a tag.

I've always said that true customer service begins when there's an issue. Penguin handled this issue in a timely and professional manner. I would do business with them again.
