Most of this book is for advanced but you can find also beginning figures (Scissors, Jacob's ladder, Walking Sticks)
Then you will find figures a little less easy (Chest ornament, Fishing net and lightning).
Next you will try figures a little more difficult (Hina's skipping rope, Teniako's bridge, Ten Men and Crayfish).
I'm very found of series. In the book there are three : Mr Umake, Crabs and Mt. Fuji.
With a good friend, you will make the figures for two (a Mountain, Looking Glass and Sting Ray).
Tricks are things i love because they amaze my children. My youger child (6) did the "Buttonhole trick" to his friend. Trick are easy and you feel like a magician! The other tricks are Caroline Island catch, Cutting off the fingers 1 and Cutting off the fingers 2.
But i think people prefer, first, tri-dimensional string figures (Two mountains and a stream, King'trone and Howler monkey'mouth). When you see a "Butterfly" like a real, it's really magic.
An excellent book with photos to each step.
You have also the sources of the figures, if you want learn more about string figures.
In the book you will find three good strings (not same longer). An excellent idea.
