Close up magic pads are essential tools for close-up magicians. They provide a convenient and portable surface for performing various magic tricks and illusions. These pads are typically made from high-quality materials such as leather or fabric, which allows for smooth card manipulation and coin sliding. The primary purpose of a close-up magic pad is to create a visually appealing and professional presentation for the magician's audience. It helps to elevate the performance and make the tricks more captivating. The pad provides a clean and smooth surface for the magician's hands to perform sleight of hand movements without any distractions or obstacles.
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.
These mats feel totaly amazing, they dont only look good but they feel like a dream probably one of the best mats i have ever felt and nothing i have seen so far will compare with these mats in terms of quality and feel for this price. The surface is padded and superb for card, coin or ball magic, with enough spring in the surface to ensure a smooth quiet working surface, but not so much that the surface feels overly spongy.
The pad provides a clean and smooth surface for the magician's hands to perform sleight of hand movements without any distractions or obstacles. One of the main advantages of using a close-up magic pad is that it enhances the overall experience for both the magician and the audience. The pad helps to create a sense of mystery and intrigue, as the audience cannot see what is happening beneath the surface.
Close up magoc pad
Designed specifically for coin magic, the Rings-N-Things Close Up Pad is a sophisticated performance surface designed to enhance the presentation of your close up show and your rehearsals. At almost two feet wide, it is large enough to do card spreads, but travels easily with the included carrying case.
Golden Rectangle
Each Rings-N-Things Close Up Pad is proportional to a Golden Rectangle which provides an inherently natural geometric appearance. The Golden Rectangle is based upon the Golden Mean of Euclid and Aristotle. Leonardo daVinci called it the divine proportion, he considered the Golden Rectangle the most beautiful and important of quantities. It is rooted in the Fibonacci Sequence of mathematics and its magic number: the Greek letter f ("phi").
The 23" x 14" pad conceals a short stack of playing cards, four 40mm coins and one 3" jumbo coin.
The coin slots give you quick and secret access to four 40mm coins. The slots will hold Half Dollars, Eisenhower, Morgan or Peace Dollars, or Silver Eagles. They will hold any of these coins with Coin Shells. Use it to conceal gimmicked coins like Copper/Silver, Copper/Silver/Brass, Flipper, Slippery Sam - and have instant access to the gimmick at any time during your show.
The playing card slot will hold approximately 13 playing cards. It's easier to conceal just one card, and steal just one playing card from the slot, but access to the slot is deep enough that you can pull a full stack from the slot. This means that at any time during a performance of card magic, you could add a packet of cards to the deck and be able to perform McDonald's Aces, or Sympathetic 10, or Wild Card, or a forcing stack, or any effect requiring gimmicked cards. Keep in mind that it is almost impossible to try to steal cards "one-at-a-time" from a stack concealed in the slot, this is because you can only steal from the bottom of the stack, and friction will drag the upper cards out of the slot IF you were to try to pull only ONE from a stack. Therefore, what you can effectively steal from the slot is limited to ALL cards in the slot, whether that be only one card, or a packet of cards (13 card maximum).
The Rings-N-Things Close Up Pad includes an upholstered carrying case that doubles as a servante. Easy to get into and deceptive in design, all you do is open the case and take out the table to set up the servante. The servante can be used to hold out production items or to ditch items for total vanishes. The servante is the entire length of the carrying case, is 4" deep and opens to about 4" wide.
The Close Up Pad's surface is a high quality, velvet covered, rigid working surface that is constructed from 1/4 inch board, attached by the feet to two pieces of aluminum, creating a 5/16 inch thick base. The surface is padded and superb for card, coin or ball magic, with enough spring in the surface to ensure a smooth quiet working surface, but not so much that the surface feels overly spongy.
The entire pad stands on four 1/2 inch feet. The feet are threaded and can be removed so the table can be disassembled in the event that you need to reupholster the surface.
The four non-skid feet on the Close Up Pad allow the pad to stand 1/2 inch off the surface you place it on. Two additional feet are included which raise the back edge of the pad to 1 inch off the surface. Raising the back edge tilts the table by 1/2 inch towards your audience. This gives them a better view of the surface and gives you quick access to the hidden slots.

This close up mat is fantastic. You can feel a significant difference on the surface, the rubber backing and the thickness of the mat, especially when compared to cheaper options. The corners are beveled just enough to ensure they stay glued and looking great for a long time to come. I am likely to buy one or two more in the coming months to match the theme of my presentations, as I feel they add so much to my “stage.”
This adds to the ambiance and excitement of the performance. The close-up magic pad also serves practical purposes. It protects the surface underneath from scratches and marks caused by various objects used in the tricks. The soft and cushioned surface of the pad ensures that delicate props, such as coins or cards, do not get damaged during the performance. It also helps to reduce noise caused by the movement of objects, making the performance smoother and more professional. Close-up magic pads come in various sizes and designs to suit different preferences and performance styles. Some magicians prefer larger pads to allow for more space to perform their tricks, while others opt for smaller, more portable pads. The design of the pad can also vary, ranging from simple solid colors to intricate patterns or customized artwork. In conclusion, close-up magic pads are essential tools for close-up magicians. They provide a convenient and professional surface for performing various tricks and illusions, while also enhancing the overall experience for both the magician and the audience. With their versatility and practicality, close-up magic pads have become a staple in the world of magic..
Reviews for "Close Up Magic on the Go with the Magic Pad"
1. John - 2 stars - I was really disappointed with the Close Up Magic Pad. The description made it seem like it was a high-quality product, but when I received it, I found the material to be flimsy and cheap. It was also smaller than I imagined, making it difficult to perform any tricks on it. Overall, I feel like I wasted my money on this pad.
2. Sarah - 1 star - The Close Up Magic Pad was a complete letdown. The surface was not smooth at all, making it impossible to perform any sleight of hand or card tricks. The pad also had a strange odor that was quite distracting. I would not recommend this product to anyone looking to practice close up magic tricks.
3. Mike - 2 stars - The Close Up Magic Pad did not meet my expectations. The material used felt rough and uncomfortable to touch, making it difficult to smoothly handle cards or coins. Additionally, the pad would sometimes move around while performing tricks, causing unnecessary distractions. I expected better quality for the price I paid.
4. Emily - 2 stars - I didn't have a great experience with the Close Up Magic Pad. The padding inside was not sufficient, and this resulted in an uneven surface for performing tricks. It also made a crinkling sound when pressure was applied, which ruined the element of surprise during my tricks. I would have expected a better-designed pad for the price I paid.
5. James - 3 stars - The Close Up Magic Pad was just okay for me. While the surface was smooth and adequate for some tricks, I found it to be lacking in durability. After just a few uses, the pad started showing signs of wear and tear. Considering the price, I would have expected the pad to be more durable and long-lasting.
