I just came across this thread after a reference to the parapad in a newer thread about "Take Note." Regarding the need for a password to get to the paralabs site, I don't want to jinx this thread but let me just say that if you can't come up with the password given the clue, there's a good chance that you're not into mentalism enough to want to purchase an item of this caliber.

I believe that's the reason for the password - to eliminate those who have neither the knowledge or the ability to find knowledge. This way they have a more serious customer base. Don't let the low post count fool you; I've lurked on here for years before deciding I should give something back. And the constant continuation oft his thread was part of the reason. Especially the number asking for a password.

Could someone help me out here - just on the verge of ordering this but just wanted to clarify something.

The version comes with a non sharpie.. stabilo or something.. is there an option to buy a sharpie gimmick somewhere? Or is the stabilo good enough? My only
concern is someone might point out the odd marker pen.. anyone had any issues with this? (I'm in the UK)..

EDIT: My order did not go through.. keeps giving me an empty cart each time I go to the checkout page. Have they stopped selling this or something?

Will this work with the parapad also?

Yes... it's set up essentially the same as the ParaPad pen

Hi all,

After reading this thread I decided to order the parapad from head hacking. Has anyone had any issues with the suppliers from head hacking? A week later and theparapad hadn't arrived so I dropped them an email last night to ask what was going on, in a nice way, this morning they gave me a full refund without and explanation. Anyone else have any issues with them?
Thanks
Paul

Turns out Head Hacking were out of stock. However, I have a parapad and it has proved very useful so far. I had to make a slight adjustment myself to ensure it worked everytime but I am very happy with it. Worth buying.

Why not buy direct from Paralabs?

You should also check out my new SvenPads since we are talking pads -

Hope that helps.

Obviously the reflection in parap is very good. What I don't like is the random nature of it's looks. It just doesn't look ordinary. See my further post in IT

I bought it direct from paralabs in the end. I have used this pad for every show I have done and it absolutely kills. The pad is awesome, no heat on it what so ever. The handling is the best I have seen for this type of pad. So quick and easy to get the p**k. Love this pad so much. May need some refills soon. Is there a forum for the pad to share ideas for routines?

The Parapad is a workhorse. I have a friend who own one of the electronic devices and it failed on him twice. Parapad is the gold standard in low tech solutions for "you know what" and it is one hundred percent reliable every time. Nothing more to say.

Indeed, I have magician friend who also fail using high-end electronic impression device as well. In the end I choose Parapad and it never fails.

Could someone PM me the password for Paralabs? The one I think it is, I can't seem to get in.
