The dollar store is your favorite research and development centre.

You buy props on eBay for tricks you have no plans to ever do

You become a magic shopaholic.

You go grocery shopping and only come home with magic props

... and also lots of plastic and latex fruits.

... Both ends of your pillow cases are open...

You have sponge balls and TT under your pillow so you can practice in your dreams.

You refer to your driver's license as the "face card"

You use your expired credit card as the "duplicate card".

You put roughing fluid on your Blue Cross card.

You nearly blew up your house experimenting with gun powders and flash papers.

When you apply for a job as an Extra Medium.

When two people can post 300 times in a row and they beat Dynamike for sheer numbers.

When everything you say is just patter, patter, patter

You do finger exercises 3 hours per day...

When you answer the phone, "Numbers between 2 and 8"

... when you send all your friends a postcard three hours after you turn on the gas and put your head in the oven.

When those postcards announced your demise so you can attend your own funeral and see the "reviews" you got.

You realize that your last will and testament is just another one ahead trick.

You actually count and record the number of times you practice with each techniques.
