You know you're a card artist when...

- when you get hot, so you do a beautiful fan and actually use it to fan yourself.
- when your pissed at your friend, so you throw a card at him( and it hits him)
- when you spin your credit card on your finger before you give it to the cashier

Actually, I work in retail, so the Credit Card thing happens every time I give a customer their card back. I know the pivot points on Visa, Master Card, and most local debit cards at this point

When you find yourself in line at the bank practicing puting your credit card into Tenkai and checking your angles on the security monitors.


And if you haven't done it before, $5 says you will now!

-When the sound of cards shuffling makes you turn your head so fast you get a crick in your neck
-When your heart actually speeds up when you see someone else with cards, even if its just poker.
-When you have to resist snickering when people proudly do a sloppy rifle shuffle and the ever-popular bridge
-When you gather crowds by playing idly with a deck
-When you discover decks in places you didn't realize you went
-When you find stacks of cards thicker than 3 decks in your bedroom when you clean it.

When your friends ask you first when they lost something
When someone borrows your cards for inspection you simply grab another deck out of your pocket
When your knuckles darken not because of hard physical labor/sport
When the first thing your friends do after meeting ou is googling for card/magic related terms
When the professor asks you to turn in your cards during the course you perform panic.
When you unconsciously always try to square things up
When the weight of your pants triples up
When you try to warm your hands up by doing DB^2 training tip.

Aya, we are odd.

When you wake up in the morning and pick up cards after having dreams about playing cards.
When you think about the possibilities of having six fingers on each hand!

When you laugh because you get each and every single one of these jokes.
When you get a friend and the two of you dress up as the Buck Twins for Halloween.
 
When you get in trouble at school because the janitors can't decide how to get the card off of the 50 foot ceiling
When you start to tell people about how many cards you have, how many are opened and how many are closed. and then start to name the colours of them.
