Trick 2: Closing
This is perhaps the most famous and basic Zippo trick, it is not difficult, but it is quite elegant and mesmerizing, and a very pleasant sound is heard during its execution.
The point is that instead of closing it with your other hand, you snap it shut by making a sharp movement of your wrist to the right (if you are right-handed, if you are left-handed, then respectively to the left), you slam the lighter shut.
Another variation of this trick is to simply take the lighter with the flint wheel up and make a sharp downward motion with your hand.
Trick 3: Opener
If something can be closed elegantly, it can be opened just as elegantly. The next trick is a little more difficult and takes some practice. The basic thing is to pinch the lighter with your index, middle and thumb fingers, make some movement with them so that the lighter is open and is pinched from the sides with your fingers.
The flint wheel should point towards the hand holding the lighter: if it is in the right hand, it should point to the right and vice versa.
Try to squeeze gradually to feel when the Zippo lighter starts to open.
Trick 4: Slice
This Zippo trick is very easy and just takes a little practice to get the wheel to spin as your hand comes back.
Hold the lighter so that it opens in the opposite direction from you.
Run your hand quickly across the top of the lid to open it, then flick your hand back to your side again to turn the wheel and light the lighter.
Slice is another very easy trick, it only requires a little skill, but those who want to do it will try for half an hour, usually they will hit the wheel and spin it in both directions.
Trick 5: Black Magic
This trick is more suitable for people who are easy to surprise and impress, not to mention that this surprise is easy to master in a day.

Now try to put out the flame: put your thumb and forefinger together, then simply and most importantly quickly run them over the fire, the flame should disappear, then, as if by snapping your fingers, hit the flint wheel and light the lighter again.
Trick 6: The bottle trick
Another good Zippo trick to surprise your friend is to put the bottle (empty) on top of the lighter on the table and have him get the lighter without touching or knocking over the bottle.
This is easy to do by simply knocking the lighter out from under the bottle with your finger, but for us it's not cool enough...
Instead of just knocking the lighter out from under the bottle, we are preparing to snap our fingers, put our middle finger on the lighter, strain our hand and quickly click, the lighter will pop out from under the bottle, the bottle will fall on the table, stagger a little and stand up.

Video tutorial "The secret of the trick with a lighter"
Usually there are branded stickers on the sides of the lighter. A lighter without any stickers on the sides is rare. We shake it in our hands, cover it with our palm and suddenly the sticker disappears. We show both sides of the lighter, there is a sticker on both sides.
We shake the lighter in the air again, show it to the audience and suddenly the stickers disappear again. Moreover, this time the lighters disappear from both sides.
We hold the hand horizontally past the other hand with half-open palms. The sticker also appears and disappears. Then all of a sudden, it only appears on one side of the lighter.
The mystery remains unsolved.
What's the secret?
The whole secret is in sleight of hand.
Prepare a lighter in advance, with a sticker on one side. When we want to show the audience that there is no sticker on the lighter, like a real fakir, we shake the object in the air and first show the side of the lighter where it really is not. Then we quickly turn the lighter over so that the viewer does not have time to notice the side of the lighter with the sticker, and again show the side without the sticker.
It looks like the sticker is missing from both sides of the item.
We repeat the same trick with reverse side, where there is a sticker and "convince" the viewer that this lighter with stickers is on both sides.
We do the same hand movements with a lighter when we perform horizontal movements with our palms.
In general, it does not matter which way you move your hands, it is important to quickly turn the object over and show the audience the right direction.
So that one day you don’t “get into the paint” and fail the trick, remember Golden Rule Magician: Practice and surprise people and don't surprise them without practicing.
The lighter, for the most part, for the average person is only part of the image. You just want to twist it in the palm of your hand, throw it from hand to hand, throw it on the table or click with fire. But that's not all. Some people start throwing it up, trying to ignite it right in the air. It was these unremarkable entertainments that became a real hobby, and then a separate art form. We are talking about zippo tricks - unusual strikes of lighters, attempts to separate the flame from the body, as well as other tricks.
In this article, we will analyze interesting tricks with lighters, as well as unusual tricks that you can do with them.
For training, in addition to the usual ones, you will need CRIKET and Zippo lighters. The Zippo lighter should run on petrol, while the CRIKET should run on gas. In addition, for performances it is necessary to acquire an ordinary candle.
Before you start learning complex tricks, you need to learn the lessons of ordinary movements: opening the lid from the hinge side, scratching the wheel with any finger. Once you have mastered these techniques, and you do them non-stop in a short time, you can begin to study the tricks themselves.
Fire Sweep
To do this trick with a Zippo brand lighter, you need to put a piece of wick into the slot near the latch. Next, wet it with a little gasoline. Light the flame. Simultaneously with the main pressure of the flame, the fire on the wick should also appear.
Important! When pushing the wick into the slot of the latch, the main thing is not to overdo it with the length. If you stick too much wick into the slot, it will simply burn out and your performance will be ruined.
This fire is visible only to you, since the body of the lighter covers it from the eyes of the audience, and in size it is not so big. When you close its lid, the fire on the wick will not go out. Now, it remains to open the lid again, wave your hand over it. And show the audience the flame that has appeared. It will seem to the public that you lit the flame with a single movement of your hand, without even touching the lighter itself.
jumping flame
The next trick must be done with a CRIKET gas lighter. First, it must be prepared for the presentation. To do this, you need to solder a small copper tube to the base, and then put a plastic hose on it. The end of the hose must be put on the outlet valve of the second lighter, which is fastened to the CRIKET lighter upside down. To increase the power of the flame when showing the focus, you need to pull out the white tube from the lighter, through which the gas flows. After that, the lighter must be collected, filled with gas, and placed with it to the left of the audience.
Position the lighter in your left hand. The copper tube must be directed away from yourself and from the audience. Ask someone in the audience to blow on the flame. When the viewer complies with your request, discreetly squeeze the valve of the upside down lighter. It should be pressed smoothly, because otherwise, a sharp stream will bring down the flame, not even allowing it to flare up. At this moment, the audience will see how the flame spread from one part of the lighter to another, and only you know the secret of this unusual teleportation. 
You can do tricks with a Zippo gas lighter anywhere, as there is practically no fire hazard here. For greater safety, ask the audience to move some distance away from you. This will provide additional security, as well as further hide your movements from the eyes of the public.
