When you enjoy the status of being a magician even when you are really jobless.

You make a screen saver out of Dynamikes avatars.. ...

(But without Dyna knowing)

When you go to the Magic Castle swap meet (yesterday) and walk past the same 60 tables 99 times and keep telling people that you're leaving in ten minutes.

When you insist on showing every magician you meet the invisible pass you have been practising and bragging how fast you are eventhough everyone can see exactly what is happening.

We call that a lecture, not a show.

When you pack for a trip anywhere for any reason and have to always remember to pack a few props and at least one magic book.

When your wife is complaining that your props are taking a lot of space on your bed, her dressing table and even the bathroom.

When your wife is complaining that all the artwork on the walls is magic posters.

(ROFL, she made that complaint not 5 minutes before I read this! I know you have my house bugged now, Jay!)

When the pictures of your relatives are all magic posters.

When you have replaced all the family photos with Houdini's photos.

WHEN..... get this....... When your wife refuses to get in the car until you remove the magnetic sign that says..... "I'm a clown" - - and it's on the passenger side so all the little kids stick their tongues out as you pass by on the freeway.

And when the customer reads said sign and calls the number and asks if your wife is the lady who is the clown. And she has has to grit her teeth because she really doesn't like magic but kindly hands you the phone. But you really don't do any shows; you are using the business as a tax write-off.

When all the computer sites you visit deal only with magic.

When you have pasted the "I'm A Magician" stickers on almost everything you owned.

When your brief case has 500 "I'm a member of the Magic Café" Stickers in its inside pocket.

When you attend a business conference your company sent you to and you spend your time doing tricks.

Your brown loafers hold walking liberties instead of pennies...

When you have to do Extreme burn EVERY time you buy something in a store

When all of the business cards in your wallet are from magic stores.

Blindfolded, you are handed a cup (out of someone else's 100 cup collection) and you know the manufacturer & model.

When you are so eager to go to any magic shop and hope to find something new to buy.
