You Know You're Spending Too Much Time w/Magic When
- when you wonder if the communion server may be trying to force a communion element on you.
- when your wife says the baby has a load, and you think "was he watching my Cups & Ball routine?
- you think your printer did a double lift of the paper through its feed
- its time to be romantic, and you think: Vernet or soft?
- your wife says she just loves the spring flowers, and you wonder "when did she start liking my magic?"
- your wife says you're good at manipulating, and you think she's complimenting you

You check every coin you get to see if maybe it was a gaffed coin some magician accidentally spent.
You can't walk past a deck of cards with out doing a fan and a back palm.
When standing in line to pay for something you keep back palming and front palming your credit card.
You sit down in a restaraunt and while waiting on your food start doing french drops and retention vanishes with the sugar packets.
Someone asks you if this is your key ring and you don't feel your pockets.

The real idea is figuring out how to have your world turn around magic. Shouldn't be too hard. Magicians are smarter than everybody else anyway.

When you see "it" you think of something other than an pronoun.
When you hear "Mark Wilson" you don't think of a race car driver.
When no one had to explain Judge Harry Stone's "Thank you Nani Darnell" comment to you.
Someone asks you to envision a beautiful woman and you think of Nani Darnell.
When you hear someone at work talking about seeing a great pass and you think he is talking about a card move.
You can't look at a bag full of baloons without thinking about making balloon animals.
You are surprised when you cut into a lemon and don't find a signed bill inside of it.
When you think of silks and eggs like other people think of bacon and eggs.
You are surprised when someone takes a coin with their left hand and the coin is really in their left hand.

When you hand anyone a bill or piece of paper of any kind and without thinking hand them a sharpy to sign it.
When the word "soft" makes you think of coins.
When you walk through a Hobby Lobby and immediately start dreaming up new tricks.
When your in church and realize you just let out a groan when the preacher said "Angel".
When you look at a pretty girl and immediately start figuring out whether or not she will fit into your illusion.
(man, could I be spending too much time with magic?)

- When most rooms of your home have at least one deck of cards lying somewhere. (this bugs my wife to death!)
- When the number of red and blue bicycle decks is too many to recall which are real, what are gaffed, which ones are full, and which ones have cards missing because you needed a dupe for another routine.

When you wake up in a room full of magic then get in your car which has tricks in every pocket and finally get to the shop where you are sitting in your office that has 800 catalogs and 4 display cabinets that hold 1500 small tricks - forget about the rest of the place, it's full too.
and
When you get a fire inspection and they call all the guys in, from the truck, to look at all your stuff....... and you think they are admiring it....... but..... they are trying to figure out how to tell you to throw 50 percent of it away............. and................. you tell them that you're getting more! ! !

Not to mention the storage unit down the street, the old microwave oven & also the new microwave oven and half the steps to the second floor. What's a book case? They stack higher by themselves and make a nice obstacle course.

excuse to go out for a few minutes to practice card sleights.
- When you practice one handed sleigths while driving
- When your friends are not bothered at all that you are doing faros while talking to them.
- when your girlfriend has finally accpepted the fact she is second to the cards
