You actually fool your spouse with a retention vanish.

Someone comes in the shop and tells you about the trick they just invented and you immediately pull out Tarbell or Hoffman and open one of them to the exact page it's on.

You can correct Bill Palmer's citings from memory.

You stare at a bic pen thinking there must be something new to do with it...

You can do an entire 30 minute act with nothing but a bic pen and a loop.

You hang your Xmas ornaments with loops...

When your loop magic throws you for a loop.

When you start talking about Blackstone to a group of magicians and none of them ever heard of either of them.

When you have orders coming out your ears instead of silks and you're up to your eyes in paperwork instead of streamers.

When you have read the same magic magazine three times in the same month and can't remember reading it.

Every Band-Aid in the house is on a magic prop.

Every suit you own is three sizes too big until you load it up.

You have to buy a new larger hat just to hold all the pins and buttons you have collected at magic conventions.

You have the largest collection of safety pins...

You can identify the momme of a silk from ten feet away.

(Hard to imagine a piece that big weighing 6 pounds)

Other magicians think you have Bill Palmer's recall ability for magic citations.
