How to Snap Your Fingers

Step 4: 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.
TIP: The harder you press your thumb and middle finger together, the louder the snapping noise will be.
Step 5: Congratulations You should hear a solid ‘snap’—the sound of your middle finger slapping against your palm. Congratulations! Now learn how to whistle and you’ll be a double threat.
FACT: In some cultures, it’s considered rude to snap your fingers at someone.
