Many people have mastered the art of flipping open a Zippo lighter, and
making it look "cool". The most popular method is to hold the lighter in the
right hand with the index finger and middle finger on top, and the thumb on
bottom (hinge facing towards the pinky). Pressure is applied to the Zippo from
the top fingers, which slide to the back, throwing the Zippo open. Another
common trick, with the lid open, is to snap ones fingers, glancing the wheel
with the middle finger and igniting the wick. Easily as common is the trick of
running the wheel quickly over one's pant leg in order to ignite the wick.
Many practice these tricks until one can 'pop' the lid and ignite the wick in
one seamless motion. It is not nearly as difficult as it looks, and can be an
impressive display of casual dexterity. Do not try this at home.
