In the market , its this product?
or maybe your advice in the size? I have a little close up pad, but I thing its too big for a restaurant work. My repertoire use a table only a few times, maybe for putting the Paperclipped card, or the deck,or the purse, but some day I wanna use a pad . Thanks!

Why would you need a close-up pad to set down a coin purse or deck? The only time I use one in my restaurant is when I return after dinner to sit down and perform things like my gambling demo or cups and balls. Most of the time, a pad just gets in the way.

I'll be honest with you guys. The BEST pad's I've ever worked with I got directly from a jewerly show for dirt cheap. They come in a variety of sizes and shapes and are just as easily to clean as regular mats.

Tom Krzystof mentions those jewlers pads as well in his DVD sold through Penguin Magic called "Go Pro". They are stiff and can be held under your arm, yet in my opinion, carrying something like that around might seem to get in the way. If you have seen family guy when Peter puts plungers on his chest, he turns around and knocks somebody over, I can imagine that happening lol. For my close up pad though, I went to the craft store and baught what are known as "Foamies". They are foam pads. I also bauhgt a felt stick pad. A piece of felt that is basically a big rectangular sticker. I just stick that to the foamies and it stays somewhat firm. Big enough to display a few coins or cards on, just like you want. I am send you the instructions via PM if you need them.

The pads that I use and mentioned on the DVD are the same pads that Eric linked to. They don't get in the way at all. As a matter of fact, they really help focus the attention on a crowded table.

Hello Pablo,
I use John Cornelius' Shuffle Mat. You can find it here. http://www.mjmmagic.com/store/shuffle-ma......486.html Jim |

Hot link, Eric, thanks. What do you guys think about the Jewelry Tray? I like how things might not roll off that one.
And if the "Ring tray" has a series of long grooves running across the pad, (into which one is supposed to tuck rings) wouldn't that be a great way to display cards and coins? They would stand up vertically. Hmmmm.

Curtis, I think those are just pads. I don't think they have the little slots in them, just flat. I don't buy jewelery so I probably wouldn't know but I would just guess that those are used to display rings and such on a countertop to show to the buyer. They do look very nice though.

That might be, I can't tell much from the picture. However, they sell a "Jewelry Tray" and a separate "Ring Tray" so I'm hoping there's a significant difference between the two.

Years ago when I was doing bar magic I bought a closeup pad made from skin diving suits. It was great for bar work because you could just wash it under water to clean it. I still use it to this day...15 years later.
