Summarize the following:
You'll need someone to perform your magic trick for.  Search out a group of people to amaze.  Look for people who seem friendly and open to your performance. Avoid people who seem reclusive or groups in the middle of serious conversation. Be sure to smile warmly so they feel relaxed in your presence.  When addressing a group, position yourself so everyone can see you.  Speak loudly enough for them to hear you. Make eye contact as you talk. Politely tell your audience that you’d like to perform a magic trick for them.  Tell them you’ll need a volunteer.  Learn the relationship between the people in your crowd.  If they're coworkers, you'll likely want to pick the boss.  Confident people tend to make better volunteers and will play along to entertain their employees.   Find out your volunteer's name and introduce her to the crowd to make her feel like part of the show.  Say "This is Anna (her name), and she'll be helping me perform today." Be firm when choosing a volunteer.  Point at them and say "I want you to help me."  Don't give them a chance to say no or the rest of the audience will think they can say no as well. Say “As you can see, these are in no particular order.”  Sneak a peek at the last card in the fan.  That’s the card you’ll be forcing on your volunteer.  Shuffle the cards a few more times but be sure to keep the force card last in the fan.  With your cards fanned out face up, the force card will be at the bottom. Remember your force card, it's the card you'll be making your volunteer choose later on. Flip it over so that the cards are now facing down.  The force card is now the top card in the deck. Now that you know the position of your force card, you're ready to perform the force.

summary: Find your audience. Approach your audience confidently and introduce yourself. Pick a volunteer. Fan the cards. Reform the deck.

Snapbacks come in all different styles, so before you choose a snapback, you'll want to figure out what look you are trying to achieve. Snapbacks can be worn to support sports teams, as fashion statements, or to represent a certain brand (like Vans). Whatever look you're going for, make sure you choose a snapback that represents you. Snapbacks have made a comeback due to their appearance in hip hop culture, and because of that they have a certain edginess. This gives you flexibility on what kind of snapback to choose, meaning you don't need to fit in a box when wearing a snapback. If a hat pops out to you, but it's not your typical style, buy it anyways! Snapbacks can help represent individuality, so throw caution to the wind and defy those stereotypical norms. Because snapbacks come in all different colors and styles, it can be challenging to choose a snapback that will fit many outfits. However, the great thing about snapbacks is it's really more about the way you wear them, and not necessarily the color of the snapback that complements your outfit. You may still want to choose a snapback that goes with your general style: if your usual look is more sporty, then choose a snapback with your favorite team, or if you tend to dress edgy or have an urban style, choose a snapback with embellishments or even a fun, bright color. Before you purchase a snapback, you'll want to try it on to make sure it fits your head well, and that you like the way you look in it. Most snapbacks come in a one size fits all, because they have adjustable snaps on the back, but different brands may fit differently on your head, so find a snapback that feels comfortable and fits well. As previously mentioned in going for a specific look, the key to great style with a snapback is wearing an outfit that complements your snapback, or wearing a snapback that complements your outfit. These are some tips, but know that there is always flexibility in your style:  For guys and girls, snapbacks can be worn with casual clothes. Whether you are wearing a t-shirt and jeans, a sports jersey, flannel, or a stylish jacket, a snapback can be paired with may different outfits to help the outfit come together. For a more urban look, you might consider wearing a graphic tee and a snapback that has a logo on it. Try color coordinating but not too much. Your outfit can really come together if you have a hat that goes well with the colors in your outfit, but you don't want to be too matchy-matchy. Use a bright colored hat to compliment neutral colors in your outfit, or wear a hat that matches the color of your jewelry, shoes, or another accessory. Never wear all of the same color, and try to match your hat with the style of your outfit: you probably don't want to wear an embellished, super colorful hat while wearing a t-shirt for your favorite sports team. Play up different hairstyles. For a girl there are a lot of different options for snapbacks, like wearing your hair down, throwing it in a pony tail and looping it through the back of your snapback, or wearing it in a braid. For a guy with short hair there obviously aren't many options, but a guy with long hair can wear his hair down, or throw it in a bun (which is a popular style today for longer hair) or in a ponytail. Wear a great pair of sneakers. Stylish sneakers really go well with any snapback, so choose a colorful pair or a subdued pair, and wear them frequently with your snapback. Closed toe shoes look the best with snapback hats, so you might avoid wearing sandals or open toed heels -- it doesn't really produce the same look.

summary: Figure out your desired look. Look at the color and style. Try on the snapback. Wear clothes that complement your snapback.

Hold the wind chime up or find a makeshift way to hang it, such as temporarily knotting a string. Provide wind or strike the chimes to see if they provide the desired sound. Check to see if all the parts hang evenly and securely. Chances are your chimes currently are top-aligned. This means the top of all the chimes hangs from the platform and the striker hits a little below the midline of the longest chime. You can manipulate the chimes and their strings for different sounds.  In a bottom-alignment, the bottoms of the chimes are all level. The strings hanging them are different lengths and the striker hits a little below the center of the shortest chime. In a center-alignment, the striker is even with the center of all the chimes. The string lengths are all different and the tops and bottoms of the chimes don't align. If you haven't run a wire through the top of the suspension platform, you can push a hook into it instead. You may need to use pliers to bend the hook over so it can latch onto the metal chain you use to hang the wind chime. Other options include running one or more of the chime and striker threads through the platform or installing a triangle of hooks to tie together for hanging the wind chime. Stick the chime on a tree branch, from a metal ring or hook, or wherever else it pleases you. Find a location that provides an adequate amount of wind and keep the chime off the ground to achieve the desired sound.
summary: Test the chime. Change the strike zone. Install a metal hook. Find an area to hang the chime.
