Great size and very well made.
This bag is absolutely wonderful and Penguin magic did such a great job of getting it to me, even
filming a video of it being packed. The bag holds so much of my gear and I can just carry it with
me whever I go. I'm even taking it on a cruise next week with my grandkids so that I can do tricks
for them on the boat. Love it. Penguin magic delivers and they are such a cool company to work
with.
I really love this product. A magician friend showed me this case and so I bought one as I have
begun doing more strolling magic. Pros: well made, easy to use, looks professional, love the ability
to adjust the inside pieces to fit my needs. Cons, maybe the handle could be a bit larger to fit my
hands, seems a bit tight but perhaps that loosens with usage. Otherwise highly recommended!
For me, this is "The Best" Close up Bag. It comes with foam inserts allowing you 'size' essentially
everything you put in there and hold it in its own compartment. It has a large enough interior
surface you don't have to 'stack' anything in the compartments you made, but you COULD 'organize'
that way. For slightly larger items you can put those in a zippered pocket in the top of the case.
Nothing falls out. That means you can see everything as soon as you open the case. That eliminates
'fumbling around' especially when there may be an audience present. You can keep things in the case
until you need it, take it out quickly and 'go'! I have two of these. One for strictly "Mentalism"
and 'Oracle' type readings, and another for my more traditional close up 'magic'. I can easily get
on hour of performable material in each of these cases if the performance going one trick after
another such as sitting down. For 'Walk Around' it becomes my personal staging area. Place it in a
'private place'. Collect 3-4 tricks, go work the tables from my pockets with those for a while, come
back, get 3-4 more and go again. I can work for hours that way. The case is a great organizing
'tool, and it travels well, too. When flying, TSA takes little interest. I keep it in my 'carry on'
luggage. When it has been opened by TSA, they glance in, and close it. Usually, nobody even asks
any questions although I leave a business card in easy view within my Close Up Case. They can
immediately see what it is, they are busy too, 'see ya later'...Its a good price, it looks good and
it is a great utility accessory.
You can modify the inside to fit any situation. Perfect for a small portable show and the material
is very nice. Love the color and presents well and protects your show. Highly recommend. I plan on
getting another one so I can have different small shows for different situations either the Camel
Brown or Black Leather. Love these, I have one in each color
