Personally myself, and being a of dealer. There is no tremendous difference I cu pads that would make me say "oh I gotta have that one" when I was starting out in magic. I has some extra indoor-outdoor carpeting which I cut down to size and it made a great may to practice on. In mind mind when performing the less to carry the better. The only good thing about the pad is that it is like a little stage for you to perform on. May keep away some granny spectators as that is "your" area. Please excuse any extra mistakes in spelling I may have done. Sending this from my iPhone.

I had the same question as Habu. Thanks for the information guys. I think I will purchase the cheapest pad I can find for now and then upgrade in the future if I'm getting a lot of use from the pad.

Just keep in mind that a cheap pad will not keep it's shape after being folded or rolled. You can read about some here.

Thanks for the information, one of the reasons I was asking is that I am in the final stages of making an arrangement to be the in-house magician for a party business. They have an arcade area and a seperate party area with a stage, actually a platform that is about 1 foot off the ground and 12 feet by 12 feet. There are two party areas, one with the stage and one without, each able to seat about 30 to 40 guests.
I will have a performance on the stage for birthday parties, and for family night during the week. I am considering doing intimate magic either at thier tables, at a counter (glass display case area for prizes) or possibly setting up a table in the party room area. I would be doing mostly sponge ball and coin effects in which I think the pad would be useful. Your comments have given me a good base from which to make my decision. Thanks guys.

I do not use them when doing strolling or table work mainly because its something else to carry but behind the bar they do come in handy. I have had many Gibsons, Apollos and Magicians Choice pads and they all eventually fall apart. I had beer spilled on a Gibson once and ran it under hot water and it comepletely fell apart. But there is a pad I highly recommend. The Trevor Duffey pad. Its made of scuba suit material and has withstood anything the bar has thrown at it. Just toss them in the washing machine and you have a brand new pad.
