How To Practice:

- You want to have mastered everything in Module 1 before moving onto the other
more complex moves
- ‘Mastering’ a move is when you can perform it confidently in front of other
people/spectators
- Practising in front of a mirror helps see what the sleight would look like from the
spectator’s point of view
- For basic moves, you can practice them whilst doing other activities such as
watching TV
- For complex moves, you need to set aside between 10-20 minutes a day to learn
them this builds the muscle memory needed to master them
- The easiest way to learn any move or trick is to break it down into its most basic
components and learn it section by section
- When practising routines and card tricks, you need to practice what you would say
alongside the trick itself
