When you try to learn the complete Levent Half Dued Silk routine in one sitting...

Whoops, meant Half Dyed Silk routine...

When you enter the Café just to get a drink.

When you prepare yourself a hot cup of coffee so you can have a good time with other magicians at the Café.

When you practice during performance time.

When you are working out routines using food as the performing items.

When you fall behind with going to bed from being on the Café.

When you want everything in your house to be used for magic purposes.

When you re-read every post in this thread.

When you want to make the biggest zombie ball for your balls routine.

When you decide that 20,000 posts is 80,000 posts away from being completely nutz.

When you are observing eagerly which Café member is the first one to hit 100,000 posts?

When observing eagerly
Does the counter even go that high? Then what a million?

That will be named "Dynamike Order."

You know you're spending too much time with magic when your rabbit starts to look appealing to you... When you keep buying magic even though you have no where to perform it, no time to practice it, and no place to store it... When you keep dreaming about doing manipulation magic even though you have trouble tying shoelaces... That you have "focused"/narrowed down your magic to performing for adults, teens, children, cable tv, closeup, restaurants, street, stage and birthday parties... That you subscribe to MAGIC, Genii, MUM, Linking Ring, KIDabra!, ADVANCE, and The Christian Conjurer... When you have all three versions of the vanishing Coca-Cola bottle... That you have a small set of linking rings, a heavier set, a magnetic locking set, an oversized aluminum set, the Mike C. coat hanger set, five DVDs on the rings, seven performance books on the rings, but do not even perform the trick... That you save the cardboard tubes from coat hangers as they could be used as wands in the Levent Half Dyed Silk routine... That you bought a piano thinking you could float it ala Norm N... That you can't take a Kleenix out of your pocket without sponge balls and sponge rabbits falling out... That you searched the internet looking for a Max Howard performance piece... That you've tasted rabbit food to see if you'd enjoy what your rabbit is eating... That your rabbit hutch has a picture of Chris Capehart's rabbit in it... That the bottom side of your hand hurts from practicing the crash link so much... That every thimble you have in the house nests... That your debit card is always almost down to zero from all your internet purchases... That you buy an expensive new effect even though you know that the only place you'll ever perform it is once for your local IBM Ring meeting... That you wonder why more magicians don't post under the "Now That's Funny!" section of The Magic Café... That your new magic stage name in Texas is "Romo The Great"... That you own at least five different sets of walnuts (plastic, epoxy, wood, giant bugs, etc.) for the Three Shell Game... That you envision yourself doing street magic even though you live in a small town with virtually no sidewalks that people regularly walk on... That you have multiple juggling sets as you might want to take it up someday... That your tongue is dry from blowing up too many 360 balloons... That you've blown your own eggs for your own egg bag routine rather than simply buying one from a dealer... That you have velco EVERYWHERE!

You perform snowstorm in China when it's 110 outside...

When you run out of things to put on the Café.

When you are trying to be very well organised with your props in your house but can never seem to find a solution.

When every single coin coming in view finishes bent with your QB2...
When every time you pay expensive stuffs you think of doing Emsley/Frustration/Gemini counts...
When every time you go to a bar choosing your drink, you do a classic force on yourself...

When every night you are in your bed, you can't sleep without "Sting" as background music...
When every time you come here, you took the time to REread every single post of the 57 pages of this thread...

When you fall asleep in bed holding at least one type of magic items.

You sleep with 2 thumb tips on...
