An example of the Liberian handshake. This is used whenever greeting or meeting people. Mostly a simple handshake and the snapping of fingers is what I use.
1 - grasp the hand of your counterpart:
2 - slide into a thumb-to-thumb grip:
3 - pull back to clutch the finger tips of your counterpart:
4 - release with a loud snap of the middle fingers:
Note that the handshake can be abbreviated by jumping straight from the quick hand shake to the snap.
Reminds me of a couple of handshakes in my old neighborhood...
