Well, if you're serious about learning how to do magic and with starting from the rock-bottom then you don't start out by casting spells, you start out by learning how and why magic works.
You see, there is no such thing as an "easy" spell or a "beginner" spell. One either understands how magic works and has mastered the basics...in which case the magic will work..or you haven't done that sort of work..and no spell will work no matter how "easy" it seems.
Casting a successful spell involves much more than finding some spell on the internet or in a book, saying some words, lighting a candle, waving a wand of any of that sort of thing. In order for magic to work you need to understand how and why it works in the first place. Grounding and centering, visualization, focus and intent, energy manipulation, etc are all necessary first steps to even begin to have a chance at a spell actually working...and more importantly to prevent a spell from back-firing on you.
So, my advice for anyone who is truly serious is to start by reading a few books and practicing the exercises those books will give you. Once you have mastered the basics you won't need anyone to give you spells, you'll be able to create your own spells that will be far more effective than anything you find on the net. Here's the books I suggest:
"Before You Cast a Spell" by Carl McColman
"Spells and How They Work" by Janet and Stewart Farrar
There are many factors which contribute to failed spell castings, the most common being that it was performed during the wrong day, the ingredients were not sufficient, instructions were not followed properly, or the spell was fake.
Remember: If it seems impossible, it is impossible.

Belief is not necessarily the word you want to use. Believing anything will work is, well, delusion. However, confidence within what you do is quite important.
Magick does not work on belief in my opinion. That's just mine. It also works on experience. You have to want to do the spell. It has to not be fantasy spells, like werewolf vampires and stuff like that. Anyways hope this helps.
Demon, you do have a right to your own belief, but "Belief", is one of the Basic skills needed, belief in what you are doing is one of the important aspects of magick, experience, is in everyone that chooses to embrace it. Learning is a forever requirment, there isn't a day that goes by that you learn something else.
Spells are a wish to the universe, a prayer of sort, if you want to call it that. Now, spells will not work if you don't sound committed, then it will not work. You must have belief in yourself, and in the spell in order for it work.
