When you forget to take your regular show and entertain anyway, using houseold items.

You open the fridge for a hunk of cheese, and 5 decks of cards, and 3 bags of rubber bands fall out...

... you decide to buy another fridge after reading the above post.

... you have hope that America is on the road to economic recovery.

... and the rest of the world too.

You're spending way too much time with magic when you've tried to explain for the 5th time that - it doesn't matter what color TTips are - and you know your student does not get the concept.

And your really spending too much time when you take time to write this, knowing that no one else cares.

And you're really, really, really spending too much time when you're writing but should be packing for the annual convention.

... you try to convince Jay that the red color TT is the better choice.

Everyone else (except James) is watching fireworks and you're packing for a convention.

You use fireworks as misdirection when you do a pass...

When you come in monday and look at the Funny section only to see that someone posted in 16 topics.... in a row. No names will be mentioned but their initials are, J.o.s.e.p.h.

Capital "J"?..Whew...scared me for a moment...

You can't recall the last time you saw your real thumb.

... you cannot differentiate a real thumb from a fake one.

That you know what town illusionist/magician Harry Kellar was married in... Kellar married Eva Lydia Medley- an Australian cornet player who came backstage in 1882(when she was 19) for an autograph from Kellar after his show in Melbourne... Hint: it is the same city that I live in (see to your left)...

You also know that Gibson Guitar used to be in Kalamazoo too.

If there was also a zoo in Kalamazoo, would it be called the Kalama-zoo?...

Or that Dennis Loomis used to live here too...

Are kazoos too from Kalamazoo? The zoo in Kazoo at Milham Park was closed down literally in part when someone came in the middle of the night and shot some of the animals... Literally they were dead ducks...

To MagicBus,
Sorry... wrong. I never lived in Kalamazoo. My home town in upstate Michigan was Manistee. I also lived in Ann Arbor for many years.
