Q&A for How to Train Yourself to Be a Spy

Of course! Just you make sure that won't get in trouble from your parents. Or, if you are the sneaky type (like me), just don't let them know.

Just don't use spy gadgets. Instead of using spy gadgets, use your senses and spying abilities.

Work on your own. If you encounter a situation you could use a partner, pretend you have a partner by saying, "look over there, that's my partner" when it isn't really him or her. Then, the person will be distracted and you can escape.

If there is somewhere that is out of sight, then go there to put your spy gear on.

If you want to! You can also be a spy without performing stunts and acrobatics. And using a computer to spy won't require any flexibility at all.

That's easy! You can find missions to complete in your house. If you can't find anything interesting, then point an ear toward other people's conversations and you're sure to find a mission!

It depends on where you are when they see you. A good spy will have a cover story prepared to explain why he is in the area.

Yes, spy gadgets assist you, but you can go without them. Use your senses. The more you practice, the more heightened your powers of perception will be.

Most girls are smaller and skinnier, so you could be useful in situations where someone needed to squeeze into a tight space. Women can also be handy for situations in which spies need to persuade or connect with someone emotionally.

Because if, for example, you can't hear someone's conversation, you can use a Mic launcher to help. Same with night vision things like flashlights.

It depends what kind of medical problems you have. Do what you are able to and ask for help if you need it.

Before you go out, you should practise judo or kick boxing or karate.

Spy on your teachers (don't get caught!) or spy on your classmates and try to figure out who has crushes on who.

You can have a meeting in a secret place such as a garage or treehouse, or even through messages. Remember, you need to delete these messages when you're finished so that no one can see your messages.

Then be a solo spy! There are advantages and disadvantages to this, you wouldn't need to share anything with anyone and you wouldn't have to learn any sort of communication if you want to be a solo spy.

You can write your message in white crayon, and then to see your message you color over it with a gray marker.

There is no age requirement to be an independent, non-official spy.

Use anything around the house or yard that you're allowed to use to make what you need. For example, if you were making binoculars, you might get some flat glass, two cardboard tubes and some tape.

Keep practicing! Your parents can't possibly be observant all the time, nobody is. Wait until you can catch them unawares. And the more you practice being sneaky and stealthy, the better you'll get at it.

Of course! It is a good skill to know and can help you get out of trouble. Cartwheels can distract your enemy and rolls will help you escape. But it’s up to you if you want to learn gymnastics.

You can buy it online from Amazon, Toys-R-Us, Target, Walmart or KMart.

Spy meetings should be kept a secret from anybody who isn't a spy. Your bedroom would work well, just make sure you have an excuse to be in your room with your team in case you cause suspicion.

As spies often use darkness as natural camouflage, as well as doing reconnaissance at night, you'll need to conquer this fear. Reference Not Be Afraid of the Dark for some good advice on how to do so.

You don’t have to spy in the dark - it’s just easier. If you’re scared of the dark, you could just spy during the day.

Ask someone else. Tell the person who made fun of you that you were just kidding so they don't tell other people you're a spy.

You don't need materials to be a spy, just use your senses. However, there are many ways to make gadgets out of household items. For starters, look at the things you can make here: <a href="/Make-Spy-Gear">How to Make Spy Gear</a>.

Just make some excuse like, "Oh I was gonna tell you something, but it looks like you're busy!"

Keep one eye closed in a well lit area and then open it in darkness. That eye will be the one that can see in the dark. This is thought to be the reason why pirates used to wear eye patches.

Join a self- defense club (karate or judo) and/or practice at home. If you want, you can ask a friend or family member to help you to train. Practice throwing punches and, if you can, buy a punching bag, if you can't, then use a pillow.

Sadly no but you can make your HQ one. First,find an HQ Then, decorate it with cool designs Next, make a school room or two. Lastly make sure that no one knows about it or your plan will backfire.
