How can I do the fire-in-hand magic trick?
First, you need to gather the necessary props which you can purchase online or from your local magic store. These props come with detailed instructions that you can follow. Before you start, ensure you understand all safety precautions and have a fire extinguisher or a bowl of water nearby. Apply the special solution or gel to your hand as instructed, making sure to cover the area evenly without using too much. Now, carefully ignite the solution on your hand using a lighter or match, keeping the flame away from anything flammable. Perform the trick by showing the flame to your audience in a dramatic way. When you're ready to end the trick, extinguish the fire by either shaking your hand gently or using the recommended method. Handling fire is dangerous, so always prioritize safety and practice thoroughly before performing. 
How can I easily build rapport with anyone?
Start by listening more than you speak. Show genuine interest by asking questions about the other person, like their name or where they're from. Avoid looking at your phone to maintain focus and show respect. When an awkward pause occurs, take it as a cue to ask more questions and then listen attentively to their responses. Also, you can create humor by cracking a joke, but make sure that it's appropriate for the conversation.
Can you suggest an easy magic trick to perform for entertaining people?
You can use props like coins and cards, which are easily accessible. For a coin trick, you can try the disappearing coin trick by pretending to transfer a coin from one hand to another while secretly keeping it in the original hand before revealing the empty hand and then showing the coin. Then an easy card trick is called the rising card, which involves having someone pick a card, placing it back in the deck, and then using your thumb to secretly push their card upward, making it appear to rise from the deck. You can try practicing these tricks in the mirror first to see how they look.
