When you are practicing the vernon wand spin when you are watching the new Transformer movie.

When the usher throws you out of the theater while you are practicing the Vernon wand spin when you are watching the new Transformer movie...

When I find my way to the projector room so I can continue watching the movie and practicing the invisible pass at the same time, after I have been thrown out of the theatre while I was practicing the Vernon wand spin when I am watching the new Transformer movie.

While watching the Transformers movie, you practice 2 popcorn kernels in the hand, and 1 in the pocket...

When you find the transformations you can do more interesting than the Transformers movie.

When you do Pase Pase Coke at the theatre followed by multiplying Hot Dogs and concluding with the Popcorn Die Box....... while on a date. (you were standing in the front row with your back to the screen).

When you blew up a dozen balloons to appear a dozen appearing canes during the new Transformer movie just to test whether the audience prefer to watch you or the movie.

When you spend 4 weeks trying to find a method to transform your old dove pan into a beautiful assistant.

When you cross a Caddillac with an intersection in Hollywood, and you get a blond.

That's a good trick.

When you memorize the Rub a Dub Dub poem from Malone's dvd...(I actually did.)...

When you try to read your magic magazines while driving down a busy freeway.

Everyone around you send photos of old magic to identify.

When you know where to send photos of old magic for expert identification.

Waiting.


.

When you have lived long enough to be a natural expert on old magic.

When you just pick up pieces of raw materials at random and then work on them to see what new tricks you can come up with.

You perform flag blendo for everyone before the fireworks start on July 4th...

When you cannot help but insist on performing every version of the card to wallet at every IBM meeting.

You follow a zombie act with your zombie act...

When you video tape various Zombie acts to compare them and write notes, even though you don't perform on the stage, but you hope to perform an illusion act...... some day, but you're already 47 and your knees hurt....but you've been collecting props, in the garage, this whole time.... because who knows? The act that was supposed to appear at the Elks Club at the holidays is delayed due to snow, so you run over to your house and try to convince the wife to help you load the car and you keep looking at your cell phone the entire time hoping... just hoping... that it doesn't ring because you just know that the president of the club will tell you that the act just arrived... and thank you anyway.
