Also how did you come to learn how to snap your fingers?

    Press the pad of your thumb and the end of your middle finger together with some force. It helps to offset the finger to the left side of the thumb (looking down at the thumb). Hold your thumb still, and try to pull the tip of your middle finger down to your palm, until it overcomes friction and snaps against your palm at the base of your thumb.

    Put your fingers together like so:

    Then push your thumb to the right while pressing your middle finger down hard. Let your thumb slide out, releasing your middle finger, which will snap against your hand like this:

    Your middle finger hitting your hand is what makes the snapping noise, so the harder your press your middle finger down, the louder the snap will be.

      It’s impressive he can snap with a metal gauntlet, I wouldn’t think it’d give enough friction with the metal on metal.

        The gauntlet can wipe out half the population instantly, and you think it’s unable to snap its fingers 😭

    Press your middle finger and thumb together with your pinky in the hollow of the gerl of your hand and your ring finger slightly overlapping it at the base of the thumb. Move the thumb out of the way to the side, allowing the middle finger to accelerated down to strike the spot where the ring finger meets the base of the thumb.

    How I learned? In a dream. I literally woke up snapping my fingers and I’ve been able to do it ever since.

    I’ve taught my cat to come over when I snap my fingers. It started by just trying to get its attention…

    Edit: typo.

    Pushing your middle finger tightly into your thumb to build up pressure. Vary the pressure slightly and your middle finger will slip off your thumb, and due to the pressure built up, quickly slam into the base of your thumb and produce a loud sound.

    Once you’re got the hang of that you can try it with other fingers. The ring finger works nicely as well.
