Spock, a fictional Vulcan on Star Trek, is a well known Vulcan who was one of the first to share the Vulcan Peace Sign. The following direction will help anyone greet someone with the peace sign. This is handy for Star Trek cons or perhaps a visiting alien or two. You should hold your pointer and middle finger together, and move it away from your ring and little finger.

[edit] Steps

  1. Get a block of wood (or something similar) and wrap it in a hand towel.
  2. Place this in between your middle finer and ring finger.
  3. Leave it there approximately for a half hour.
  4. Remove the block of wood after about 30 minutes and you should be able to do this hand trick easily.
  5. Another way to practice this is to try splitting the two fingers so they are in pairs.
  6. Open the pairs of two fingers to form a "V" in the center. Practice this regularly and the Vulcan Salute will become easy to make.


[edit] Tips

  • Put on a movie while practicing this. This makes the practice so much easier.


[edit] Warnings

  • Don't leave the block of wood in place too long or it may result in injury.


[edit] Things You'll Need
