Congrats! Harriet! Or when your rabbit's name (my black rabbit, actually) is named "Hairy Blackstone", and also is called "Dirty Harry" before you put him in your rabbit wringer "washing machine." Or when your "office"/den at home smells like a barn yard because that is where the rabbit's hutch is kept... Or when on your ipod you have Wilma Rench organ music which features "If I Had My Way." Or when Max Maven's "Inguisition" in Genii is not very difficult trivia for you each month. That you know the first female President of IBM and where she currently lives (and how old she is). That you can't ever spend a $2 bill or 50 cent piece since you might have a magical use for it someday. That your businees/office website (which has nothing to do with magic) also mentions your being a magician. That you know who does the "Commando" act. That you know that Sanka and Sankey are totally different. That you can immediately name at least three magicians who are also attorneys (or doctors, for that matter). That you actually considered getting one of those "lifetime" subscriptions to a magic magazine. All these things are very much true of me, that's why doing these lists are so hideously easy for me (yikes!). Love reading your stuff too, often is all too familiar. Have a magical weekend! "Hairy" is in action at http://www.ChristianMagician.org.

When you walk around all day with a half dollar palmed in each hand.

When you carry scissors into the shower so you can perform cut and restored with soap on a rope.

When you know all the psutonyms that Bill Larsen Sr., wrote under.

When you can tell the difference between Greg, R Paul, Mark, and Woodrow Wilson...

Actually that should be became a grandmother "again".

When you know Gay's first name, and Bellamie's middle name.

When you know that James Tong is not related to Danny Tong.

You join the Navy to work on the deck...

(Oh I joined the navy to see the world and all I did was work on the deck....)

When you own 5 dvds and 4 books on the Emsley count.

When you own every book published on 'cups and balls' but you could only perform the simplest chop cup routine without a final load.

or a a salad tong.

(That's a good one, Jay, LOL)

When you are just too eager to learn the next version of the trick you already knew even though you still cannot do it well. And knowing that you do not have enough time to practice you just want to learn and absorb lots of new things from every magic club meetings and conventions.

When you twist that creepy, irritating little dog into a balloon animal...

When you begin twisting the long balloons in multiple loops and believe the outcome is a pink panther or a poodle, and when you showed the work to others they cannot even recognize the shape of your work.

When you can make 20 different kinds of dogs (but all the kids at the party ask for a cat.... a pink cat...... and none of them are girls!)

When you spend years practicing blowing up balloons without a pump and insist that that is the right way to do.

When you have to call the next show on your cell because you're late because the mom who booked you lied and said there were going to be 10 kids and (are you keeping up with this?) you show up to find that you need to make balloon animals for 45 instead?

Here is a quiz to see if anyone was listening: What is the name of the female assistant that Father Photius mentions in every third post? Question number 2, Who wore the Red Jacket Of Mystery and why has no one called him personally to see what we can do to get him back? Question number 3, Did anyone know that Bill Logan is extremely wealthy? He inherited a bunch of money from the Logan Lathe company and lives on a yacht. He needs a 20,00 square foot building to house his collection. He probably will deny this because of how humble he is.

Please submit your answers (one per household) and mention my name.... It won't get you anything, I just like my name mentioned.

I believe Bill Logan's huge collection of props already sunk his yacht and he is thinking of buying over the new Titanic so we can join him for his convention and hopefully halfway during one of the lectures the ship don't sink again.

Who is Bill Logan?

that's a funny line. I hadn't heard it before. Is it your original?? Anyway, very funny!
