Step 2Pinch the Flame
First of all, make sure that you're indoors and there's no draft. This trick can live and die by air circulation.
So light up your Zippo and pinch off the flame. This is done by putting your thumb and index finger together and closing off the flame by moving them across the top of the chimney.
If you do it right, you'll see a small blue flame caught under the curved wick. If it's not working, tilt the lighter a little bit to the outside and try again. This gives a better angle for the wick and makes it easier for the flame to get caught.
If you're still having problems, try adjusting the wick again. Just make sure to let the lighter cool off before you touch it.
Assuming you have the trick going properly, talk about how you're holding the flame in your hand, how cool Prometheus was, or whatever else to keep the suspense going.
