Hold the lighter right side up, index and middle finger on one side of the cap, thumb on the other. With a quick flick of the wrist, open the lighter, and, in the same movement, allow it to fall through the "o" shape that is formed between the index and middle finger. Use the ring finger to scrape the wheel along the webby part of flesh between the thumb and index finger. To close, lessen the pressure of the index and thumb, and let the lighter swing down. In a fairly continuos motion, slowly flick your wrist so that the lighter hits the same webby part as before. Then, flick it closed. The difficulty is in keeping the motion fluid.
