Problem: Article: It is possible to train a goldfish to do tricks. You have to work with them consistently like you do with dogs. One way to train a goldfish is to purchase a training kit. They usually come with toys, a manual, and a feeding stick to deliver rewards quickly. Watch the DVD and read the manual that comes with your training kit. This will help you learn how to train the goldfish. Some kits come with a hoop, basketball court, tunnel, soccer goal, limbo bar, and so on. If you aren't going to purchase a training video, you may be able to train a goldfish on your own. Start by building exercises into your daily routine with the goldfish. Select a few minutes that you are able to repeat everyday. Do training at the same time of day. Keep in mind that the goldfish needs to be at least two inches long. This is because fish of this length or longer respond better to training. Don't expect your goldfish to be able to do all the tricks you have in mind right away. Start by training them in one trick at a time. After they become very good at one trick, add another one. Eventually you may be able to add more than one trick into one training session. If you don't have a goldfish training kit, think of your own games. For example, place a rubber band in the bottom of the water so that it stands on its side like a hoop. Drag food through the hoop with your fingers to entice the goldfish to swim through it. Give it the food every time it swims through. Also consider placing a small, thoroughly washed ball into the water and encouraging the goldfish to push it around.
Summary: Find a training kit. Develop a daily training schedule. Add one trick at a time. Come up with your own games.

In one sentence, describe what the following article is about: Look at yourself in a mirror and time how long you can maintain eye contact without blinking. You can also have a staring contest with someone else to test your ability. Having full command over your eye movements will help you maintain steady eye contact with the other person during the hypnosis. Do this by looking at a close object, like a pen or pencil and then a distant object in the room. Hold the pencil close to your face. Focus on the pencil. Move from focusing on the pencil to an object that is further away, like a picture on the wall or a doorknob. Return to focusing on the pencil. Then focus on the distant object. Continue practicing this to improve your focus flexibility. This is your ability to see objects and movements on either side of you without having to turn your head. To improve this ability: Sit in a busy scene outside on a sidewalk. Or sit in front of a TV or computer screen that is playing a busy scene. Try to look at the busy scene with your head turned to one side. Then, look at the scene with your head turned to other other side. Try to see as much of the scene as possible on either side. Make sure you practice from the left and from the right.
Summary:
Try to maintain eye contact for long periods of time without blinking. Practice your ability to focus with your eyes. Improve your peripheral awareness.
