The 'Are You A Wizard' meme features a close-up photograph of an elderly man with wide, bulging eyes and a massive white beard, looking intensely at the camera with a look of pure shock. The image first gained notoriety on imageboards like 4chan around 2008, typically used to react to someone explaining a complex process or performing a seemingly impossible feat. It is the quintessential reaction image for moments of total bewilderment or when someone displays 'pro' skills that seem like sorcery to the uninitiated. Over the years, the template has evolved from a niche reaction to a universal symbol for being completely stunned by digital revelations or clever life hacks.
