This trick can be done on a bar, table, or even your knee. Hold the cap between your thumb and index finger with the hinges facing up and the body pointing out. Flick back and up to open the body. Now is the somewhat tricky part (for me to explain) so try to watch the video and look at the pictures. You reposition the lighter so your thumb is on the flint and the body is towards the ground. Finally slam the lighter down on your chosen surface and the lighter will light. You can close the lighter with your index finger.
