About these tricks
Wizard tricks are the shop's real sleight of hand and its longer routines, and they say honestly how long they take: days of practice, not minutes. Each one has a secret move that has to be done without looking, and the only way there is a few minutes every evening.
Most start at 2nd or 3rd grade and two at 5th; they suit children who have already performed Apprentice and Conjurer tricks and want something nobody at school can do. Practise in a mirror first, then for a pet or a stuffed animal, then for one person who loves you, then for everybody.
They come off 4 shelves of the shop, most from The Coin Counter (3) and The Paper and String Drawer (2). What you need most often: a coin (3), cards (1), a cup or glass (1). 1 trick has a step a grown-up does (something hot or a bright light), and 4 tricks carry the choking note for brothers and sisters under 4. The quickest to learn is The Coin From Behind Your Ear (2 to 4 days); the longest is The Two-Coin Jump (3 to 5 days).
