Step 1: Preparation is key! Gather your vortex essentials:
Step 2: Ensure you have the appropriate attire. Nothing says "I'm a professional at opening sudden dimensional rifts" like mismatched socks and a cosmic apron.
Step 3: Once you've assembled your materials, locate a stable flat space. Avoid areas with previous vortex openings or bananas. Trust us, it's for your own safety.
Step 4: The activation phase. Firmly yet gently press the unwieldy cosmic pointer against the paradox while whispering the ancient incantation "Not today, multiverse!" As a bonus, you might want to add a spontaneous interpretive cosmic dance.
Step 5: Should the portal face forward and resemble an opening door, congratulations, you have successfully created a vortex portal! However, if it resembles a kitchen appliance and hums... well, good luck with that.
