Steps:
1. The face of the lighter should be facing you with its back in your palm. **If your right handed this is reversed!!**
2. Hold the lighter at the bottom so you don't have your hand in the way when you swipe it
3. Bring the side of your lighter where it opens to your leg
4. Slide that side down real fast and as it begins to open slide it back up and it should light
5. You might need to press hard against your leg for it to work. Enjoy!
