Open and light the lighter with a simple snap near the spark wheel (let you middle finger run down the spark wheel), when the lighter lights begin to move you fingers over the flame until the flame "seems" to be out. Really the flame only seems to be out because the blue flame is still there (that is the most difficult part of the trick, you must make it seem like its out). Now lift your hand quickly and snap your fingers and the flame will come back (by moving your hand oxygen comes back to the flame and it re-ignites.) Then simply tell the audience "Its Magic."

This is in fact one of the most requested tricks during all of LT.COMs 10 years of operation. A true cla**ic by our standards!
