[ WP ] You always hear people say , `` That 's the oldest trick in the book ! '' . Well , you just found that book .

And it was old! Like, before printing press old. Maybe even older than most religious works. Didn ’ t stop me from trying to read it though. Notice the word ‘ trying ’? Cause it was terrible! Almost unreadable and also damn wordy. Turned out the book was about tricks. Can you imagine? Tricks! Like them people didn ’ t have anything better to worry about back in the day. Wait, I ’ ll give you a few examples of random chapters: 
 
 **There ’ s something on your tunic** 
 
 In the first part of this chapter it is explained how to convince someone that there ’ s something on their clothes. ‘ It ’ could be anything ranging from a stain to a fluff. The second part is on how to best flick someone ’ s nose if they fall for it and look down. 
 
 **Ask the other parent** 
 
 A chapter about how children can always go to the other parent if one has already said no. 
 
 **Tap on the wrong shoulder** 
 
 Pretty self-explanatory, right? 
 
 **Pull my finger** 
 
 Yeah… 
 
 This goes on and on. So, yeah, to be very honest, trying to decipher this book was a waste of time. I already knew everything that was inside, being a pretty advanced prankster myself. If anyone is interested though, I made a short video on the book ’ s contents you can watch [ here ] ( https: //www.youtube.com/watch? v=dQw4w9WgXcQ ).
