It's harder than you think so don't practice on a highly visible part of
your car. The catch is that the metal will be very slightly stretched
if you simply push the dent out. It will have ripples or stick out a
bit too far. The dent has to be worked out gradually and evenly so the
metal is compressed back to its original form.

If a fender ever gets crushed you can practice on that and then throw it
out.
