Just for the male magicians:

Your girlfriend knows the sound of riffled cards over the phone.

You see an attractive woman and think if she will suit your act.

Magic turns you on more than women do.

You spend more time in front of a mirror than your girlfriend does.

You show your girlfriend the same trick everyday insisting that "I've improved it greatly".

You are the only one of your male friends that has a nice "silk collection".

You ask every waitresses you meet "do you have a minute?"

If your MTV CRIBS episode is you saying "and this is where the magic happens" for 30 minutes straight
if you think michael ammar facts came before chuck norris facts

if you own more sharpies than you do regular pens

if you have ever attempted to do a retention with a sponge while doing the dishes

if you have more half dollars to your name than spending money in your account

if you know dana is a girls name but it still makes you giggle

if you instantly have a picture in your mind anytime someone says "professor"

if the magic castle is not where eureka lives to you

if your insulted when someone says "hey your like criss angel"

if you get tired of being asked to levitate or throw a card through a window

and yes i just came up with most of those

Everything that is in bold above.... absolutely true, and I was either doing them as I read the thread, or have done them before, but I will simply clarify a few things for you.

32. You know who Brad Christian is and you always wonder if he’s gay or not.

This was a funny part in the post, but just for anyone who is wondering, he is NOT gay. I remeber that I was asking about HTDSM about a year ago, and Brad mentioned that his wife was one of the women in it. (wife or girlfriend.)

49. You never throw out old decks because you "can make something out of it".

For anyone who has this problem right here, consider doing a better thing than tearing them up. If the deck is still complete and has all of its cards, why not donate them to the childrens ward at a hospital, that's what I do. I volunteer and go room to room at in the childrens ward, and after a performance I give them a deck.
 
Haha, #50 is actually dead on! :)

It's quite shocking how many of these actually apply to me...

Love it :)

Hey, watch the movie Donnie Brasco. it is a true story about an undercover cop in the mob. and in one scene a couple guys are playing poker, and the are using blue circle back Tally Ho's.

In an episode of Drake & Josh, they are playing cards with red bicycles.

In one scene in Team America: World Police, there is a pack of red miny bicycles on a table, but they look actual size because of the puppets.
