Hey! Next time, try to post this in the
Product Questions forum. As for the tricks you mentioned, I suggest that you avoid magic for that until you have a solid foundation in Geek Magic. Those effects are very dangerous and can harm you.
Seeing as how you are simply starting out, I recommend that you purchase
Geek Magic by Tomas Medina. It will get you jump started and knowledgeable in Geek Magic.
