The ability to snap my fingers. I can barely make a sound when doing it.

Make an OK symbol with your middle finger

Move every finger except your index finger to your palm as close to your wrist as possible (in a comfortable manner)

Adjust your thumb so it is on the edge of your middle finger closer to your pinkie (this is to cause more friction between your middle finger and thumb)

Press down with your middle finger and then move your thumb, as quickly as possible, to around where your index finger is

If it works, it'll cause some burning on your finger and a loud noise, you can massage your palm where the middle finger hits if it's still muffled, it's likely stiff.

I definitely misread this and thought you said to put my index on my palm, so I was doing it that way, resting my thumb in my index finger. Definitely not as good as the actual method. Absolutely needs practice, though. Thanks for the help.

Which finger do you use other than your thumb? I use my rong finger, but I've seen others that use the middle. I'm sure some wierdo is out there mastering the pointer thumb technique

Middle. I've never heard of people using any other fiber, so it's what I use.
