Preparation

Sometimes you will need to prepare something beforehand to make a trick work.

(2) Difficulty rating

The magic tricks get harder throughout the book (except on page 32), so each trick has been given a rating. One is the easiest and seven is the hardest. The most difficult tricks will take a bit of practice to get right, but they will be worth it!
