    Rest ring finger & pinky against palm

    Let your ring finger and pinky rest against your palm.

    Swipe middle finger down

    Now quickly, swipe your middle finger down so that it hits the palm of your hand. At the same time, let your thumb pop up to meet your index finger.

  6. Tip

    The harder you press your thumb and middle finger together, the louder the snapping noise will be.
