32- If you are a very fat magician, do not try to touch your toes with your hands when in a pentacle. Whatever your djinni says.

I thought it was Barti's mane problems when he was in the guise of a male lion, after which he used a lioness instead.

27. Never allow a spirit, which you have slaved and treated badly for thousands of years, to enter your body in any circumstances. They will eat your brain.

26. Try not to usually employ a spirit which wrecks havoc onto the world at your bidding, but then proclaims your guilt to the rest of the community by crawling back to you. (eg. a golem)

25- Do not read Bartimaeus Trilogy and fool yourself into believing that all spirits you summon will be as compassionate as Bartimaeus. Don't, under any circumstances, let them come to know about your true name. They would parade it in neon lights and that would be the end of you.

I quote Gandhi- Speed is irrelevant when you are going in the wrong direction. =p
Make sure you are running away from danger and not towards it.
