The Mythical Handshake! Suggestion. ;p

My bother and I are out and about today so we decided to stop and film a our idea for a Mythical Handshake.

The steps, which can mostly be seen in the video, are:

- Extend your hand out to another Mythical Beast in a sort of M formation, index finger up, both middle fingers together, and the pinky down.
- As your hands meet with your fingers reaching the bottom of the shakee's palm you start to pull away while your middle fingers fold inward. Remember to keep the index and pinky extended!
- Both your Mythical Shakee and your middle fingers should hook each other, at this point you finish off by grasping with the thumb, index and pinky and a shake.

It represents our mythicalhood while not being overly complicated, it also feels as natural as a normal everyday handshake while feeling unique to boot.

Please forgive the poor quality, we're a long ways from our everyday cameras.

Thanks for viewing. =)

I think it should be a combination where one person does a handshake and the other person does a fist bump and when they touch they shake

How would you determine who fist bumps and who shakes?

I'm not sure how I feel about how one sided the handshake would be. I'd like to know more though.

I myself was going for something familiar to the timeless standard handshake but also brought in a little new age finger play to spice it up a bit, it's quick and simple, but also a smidge complicated at the same time.
