This is just a plain weird trick. Hold the bottom corner of the lighter, with your index and third fingers on the front bottom, and the top of your middle finger against the reverse bottom. The hinge should be pointing towards your thumb. Fold all three fingers into your palm, applying slightly more pressure with your third finger. This rotates the lighter just enough so that your thumb can hit the open-side lid/cap and open the lighter. Straighten your three fingers, and then release your third fingers hold on the lighter, leaving it between your index and second fingers. Rotate around your middle finger, and then smack the lighter down into your palm, holding the lighter between your middle and third fingers. Light with your thumb. I end this trick with the very-ignored but much-adored "Snap Back", which was submitted by Gerard Mahoney some time ago. Gerard, that was a good closure trick - where did you go?
