Card Mats

Good evening (or morning)

I am in the market for a new card mat, although I am not really up to par with a great brand of durable yet useful mats for close up magic.

Any suggestions?

THANK YOU!

There's not much need for suggestions, really - any basic felt close-up pad with a rubber base will do the job and last a good while.  Pick a size and color you like and go to town with it!

If you want to also expand your Bicycle Rider Back collection, try this:

Nine different colors of Rider Backs with two mats, one red and one black.  Not a bad deal.  The colors are from the DiFatta series as well as USPC standard issue.

Here it's more expensive but ships free of charge.

This close-up mat may be helpful. I have that same one, but twice the size. It is still in great condition!

There are many serviceable mats available for cards.

One who has a great selection and service is Pattrick's Magic. (yes - with two t's) They come in a wide variety of shapes and sizes and two different textures. Custom mats are also available. Great quality.
