You Know You're A Magician When...

Postby Rufio » Aug 7th, '11, 23:45



You watch films like Rain Main and a gooey sense of satisfaction arises when you see Bicycle playing cards and feel impelled to point this out to others....

You receive an email from Paypal with the header: "You've Got Funds!" and start planning an online shopping trip involving magic items just to tip the basket over the edge to qualify for free shipping....


Anyone else got any other symptoms for when you're knee deep into the Magic Bug?

(incidentally I did try to search for a similar thread I saw some time ago, but trawling through 7000+ topics seemed too trifling!)

You come on tragic internet forums on a daily basis and wonder what the hell happened to your life.

Your girlfriend tells you to "P**S O*F" when you say. " Let me show you this new trick I've learned".

When people talk about bikes your first thought isn't about the transport.

When you see some kind of magic trick on tv or in a movie and instantly try to work it out.

When you don't have a girlfriend to tell you "P**S O*F" when you say "Let me show you this new trick I've learned"

When you realise how awful other magicians are and steer clear of them.

When you find yourself performing single card flourishes with your credit card while waiting to pay for your weekly shop.
