Originally we ordered a sample psyclock to be manufactured as per Pauls original. Once we received the psyclock it was extensively tested in the shop as well as in performance.
After several performances using the original sample, a few modifications were made to make the clock more robust and easier to use. We then had a small batch made (30 units) which arrived a week prior to Blackpool. In the week running up to Blackpool we again extensively tested the clock as well as designed and built the stands which we gave away free to all pre-ordered units and Blackpool purchases. A few days prior to Blackpool a potential problem was highlighted which concerned one of the components used within the workings of the clock. Although it would not interfere with the functionality of the psyclock it meant that the batteries would drain much more quickly than we would have liked. Having Christopher Taylor arrive from Canada to accompany us to Blackpool was an opportunity not to miss. We set Chris to work modifying the clocks to eliminate the problem. All the units sold to date have been modified at Alakazam HQ to the new specification. We have now given the manufacturer the updated spec and expect delivery of the next batch within the next 14 days. As soon as they arrive and we give them a once over we will ship all back orders as well as having extra units to sell. I can honestly say that having demonstrated the Psyclock at Blackpool as well as having performed it in the real world, the unit is now pretty much bomb proof. It gets a great reaction and is extremely easy to perform. As per Pauls wishes it is intended that we only produce a limited number of the clocks, so if you would like one get your order in now to ensure you receive one of the next batch. The stand is not needed to perform the Psyclock routine. It does make performance extremely easy, as it was designed by me to work with the psyclock and yet look completely innocent. Hope this helps Clarify Regards Mark Gray |

Hi
How do you avoid spectators interrupting you in the middle of a routine? Do you tell them, that they can ring a bell or whistle at the beginning or the end of a routine? Same, when you are doing it as a big finish for table hopping... Thanks Patrick |

Hi Guys,
as per the footage on my DVD Connected I inform the volunteer that they can blow the whistle at any time. however there will be moments in the show where you will instinctively know that it would not be a good time to interrupt. This has never failed for me,however it comes down to your initial audience member selection. Pick the correct type of person and they will be keen to keep to your silent script and not interfere too much with the smooth running of your performance. I hope this helps doktorp. Apologies for not replying to you all sooner as I have been out of the country performing and not had much time to check my messages. Regards Paul Stockman |

I believe they are expected in the next week or so and will be sent out as soon as Alakazam have tested each and every product.
The time has come guys. So prepare to control time !!!!!!!!! { That was a joke by the way} Paul Stockman |

Hi
I've placed my order at Alakazam about three weeks ago. It was charged on my credit card the same day. I know, it was a pre-order item. I wrote an email to Alakazam two days ago. No answer at all. I wonder, when my Psyclock will be shipped... will it be shipped at all? There are more and more pre-order items on the "magic market" today. More and more magicians are not satisfied with the informations, the get from the shops or from the manufacturers. This will be the last pre-order, I've made. Im sure, a lot of magicians feel the same. Thanks Patrick |

Just got an answer from Peter Nardi (Alakazam) that my Psyclock is on the way. My first email was lost.
The answer now came very quick. I'm looking forward performing Psyclock! Thanks to Alakazam. |

Thanks guys for your wonderful comments.
Psyclock although limited in numbers has been selling like hot cakes. I have even replaced my personal clock with the new clock. WOW ! it looks fantastic and works a dream. The stand designed by Mark Grey at Alakazam is genius too. I urge you to think about getting this. The secret bits are totally hidden and the stand appears to be just a stand. I will soon be filming my new product to be released "The Impossible Envelope" This has remain a secret of my for many years. A utility device that Stage, Stand up and parlour guys will simply love. One of my favourite things I have released so far. You can sign up to the members area of my Web site for more details. http://www.paulstockman.com and just go to the "In The Know" pages and register. Regards Paul |

Hi my friend,
Thank you for signing up to the members only area of my web site. I have now completed my negotiations with the wonderful guys at Alakazam magic and filming and production will begin in a matter of weeks. There are a few more details on the members area of my website now. I will be posting more details as we get closer to production. I have been using this for many years for a multitude of different effect. Its one of my favorite things I have ever come up with. I cant wait for you all to see it . Sorry this is a little vague but the website tells you more. Thank you for your interest. Kindest regards Paul |

Thank you for the info Paul.
Since the Impossible Envelope is Paul's creation, I am sure the product (utility device) will be very clever & useful. Moreover the utility device is quite versatile as it can be used for Stage, Stand-Up and Parlor settings. I think that is enough information for me. The name itself has caught my attention. This is on my purchase list.

Received my Psyclock last week, what a wonderful piece, truly ingenious, as is the stand made by the guys at Alakazam - something so innocent! Cannot wait to use this, will be adding it straight into the show, should be using for the first time in 2 weeks, will post how the audience feedback was.
A real "utility" device with so many presentation options, highly recommended, thanks Paul and Alakazam for releasing a top product. |

I am delighted you are so pleased with it.
Its been my baby for 8 years and I have had so much fun with it. Its time the world had a play with it too. They are selling out fast and because I want to keep them limited when they are gone they re gone. I have a few for sale on my Web Site and Alakazam still have a few for sale in there U.K and USA site. In some ways I am sorry to see this being used by soooo many as it was totally original to me for many years. However it gives my great pride to see it doing to very well. BEst wishes and thank you for your kind words Paul Stockman |

Thanks Paul. Without giving too much away....what do you think is the longevity of the clock? I like to pick up a 2nd prop that I really like and seeing as these are limited I am tempted to!!

That's a good question and one I am unable to answer at the moment.
I will be meeting up with Peter and the team to do some filming for my next release very soon. I will know a little more after that. All I can tell you is that I have made it very clear that I do not want these to be sold in very large numbers. We are all aware of how strong this effect is and I feel it would spoil it if every other guy was out there performing it. Its rumoured that Derren maybe using it on an up and coming T.V special. I want it off the market before that happens. Regards Paul |

Thanks Paul and all fair enough...perhaps if there are technical issues down the track with clocks once you have stopped selling, they could be sent back for a replacement/repair (at a cost obviously) so you can then still control the number of clocks out there. Will be using next week for the first time, looking forward to it.
