Never reveal the secret to your fire magic trick. People will beg to want to know how a trick is done, but once they find out, the sense of mystery and awe disappears.

Fire magic is very dangerous. Make sure to exercise complete caution while performing such tricks. Be sure to follow the directions exactly and heed the warnings on the magic tricks.
Always keep water or a fire extinguisher nearby while practicing fire magic. Make sure you know how to use a fire extinguisher in case of emergencies.
