When a character needs to do something impressive, they'll often do it with a snap of their fingers. Sometimes it's just a signal for Mooks to carry out a Villain's orders, but sometimes the snaps themselves have magical powers. Alternatively, the finger-snapping may just be a specific Character Tic that tells something about the character's personality. Fridge Logic makes one wonder about the "orders" one. How do they know whether the finger snap means "bring the suitcase of money", "kill them", or "You, Get Me Coffee"? Context is one of the only possibilities... but it sure tells you they're exceptionally well trained. Interestingly, there is some scientific basis behind this trope: studies have shown that finger-snapping is the fastest gesture humans are capable of (about 20 times faster than a blink of an eye), and humans' fingers are ideally suited for snapping, implying that this gesture had some evolutionary purpose. See Finger-Snap Lighter for one a specific subtrope. Finger-Snapping Street Gang is when a group snaps their fingers rhythmically as an intimidation tactic. Compare Finger Gun, especially when a Friendly Sniper is around. When fingers actually hurt or inflict pain on another, see Finger Poke of Doom. |

Arius in Devil May Cry 2 likes this gesture. When Dante first meets him he summons Furiataurus to fight Dante with but a single snap of his fingers, and during his own boss battles he accompanies his attacks or summoning more demons to his aid with more finger snap. | |

In Doctor Zhivago, the title character steals some firewood. When the house captain and the neighbors find out, it looks like Yuri is in trouble. However, a secret policeman followed Zhivago back and with a snap of his fingers dismisses the collected mob. It turns out the policeman was Yuri's half-brother Yevgraf. | |

Rick and Morty's Season 3 episode "The Ricklantis Mix-up" has a villainous one: Evil Morty has just become the new President of the Citadel of Ricks, but the Shadow Council of Ricks makes it clear to him that they intend to be the ones who are truly in charge while he acts as their Puppet King. President Morty just calmly asks all the Ricks who feel this way to raise their hands (and most of them do, with two exceptions)...and then wordlessly snaps his fingers, at which point these Ricks are gunned down by others who are loyal to their new President. | |

Supernatural has a thing for this trope: the Trickster/Gabriel, as well as Crowley have thedo ability to make people explode with a finger snap. Lucifer did this to Castiel, who later used it on Raphael. Castiel also used it to free Death from a binding spell. In Watsonian versus Doylist term, the Watsonian reason is to show those character as incredibly powerful, the Doylist reason is to covered for the No Budget nature of the show. | |

Total Drama: After being taken to their territory in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste", Anne Maria gets surrounded by mutant gophers. Before a fight can break out, their shadowy leader snaps his finger and they retreat, leaving him to deal with Anne Maria. Part of the challenge in "Grand Chef Auto" is to acquire one of Chef's prized go-karts. Thing is, Chef is not okay with his go-karts being used for the challenge, so he goes all out protecting them. He introduces his main line of defense with a fingersnap: an army of hostile mutant squirrels. |

Final Fantasy XIV examples: The Primal Shiva casts her Diamond Dust spell by snapping her fingers to freeze her enemies and much of the stage in ice. She then stamps her heel down with a loud clack to shatter the ice. The Phantom Thief of Many Faces, when out in the open, causes a number of things to happen by snapping his fingers like a showman. The Ascian Emet-Selch often works his magic with a simple snap of his fingers. Even as Hades, some of his heavy hitting attacks are cued by the sound of his snapping fingers. This is one of the two biggest hints to the identity of the Ancient that saves your party during the Seat of Sacrifice in 5.3 Also in Endwalker the WoL's journey to the distant past reveals that even before the Sundering, Emet-Selch had this particular quirk. |

Marvel Cinematic Universe: Discussed in Avengers: Infinity War, with it being noted repeatedly that Thanos, with all six Infinity Stones, could erase half of all life in the universe with a snap of his fingers. Despite the heroes' best efforts, he acquires all of the stones and executes the lethal finger snap in question. Cue a long sequence of many heroes crumbling to dust. In Avengers: Endgame, this occurs three separate times with the Infinity Stones. The first time, off-screen, Thanos uses a fingersnap to destroy the Infinity Stones, necessitating the rest of the film's conflict. The second time, Bruce Banner does this to restore all the people who were dusted in Infinity War. The third time occurs at the end of the final battle, where Tony Stark does this to the time-displaced Thanos and his army, at the cost of his own life. |

Mortal Kombat 1: Liu Kang's second Fatality has him drag his opponent through a portal into space before snapping his fingers and summoning a black hole to suck up their skin, innards, and bones. This is single-handedly the most brutal and over-the-top Fatality in the series. | |

Herrscher of the Void in Honkai Impact 3rd pulls an incredible example: After her first awakening, hundreds of thousands of mechs were sent after her. Of course, she pulled an equally large force from the void to fight back. But when the opposing mechs fired huge missiles at her, all she did was stare it down, expressionless. That was, at least, until she gave a small smile and... snap. | |

The Legend of Zelda: In The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Ghirahim snaps his fingers whenever he uses powerful magic like creating barriers around the Sealed Grounds, bringing a boss to life, or creating a sword to fight Link with. In The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, the Spirit Temple features a boss monster that appears as a knight covered in armor. It summons a huge axe from Hammerspace with an audible snap of its fingers. In The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, The Gerudo Champion Urbosa can call down lightning strikes with a snap of her fingers as her signature ability. Link gets the same ability after freeing the Divine Beast Vah Naboris, though the only time he snaps his fingers to do it is during the cutscene where he receives the power. |

Utilized by the God of Thunder, Thor in God of War Ragnarök to summon his weapon, the great hammer Mjolnir. In much the same vein as Kratos does with his Leviathan Axe, when summoned it can travel great distances and only stops once it reaches its master's hand. | |

Bioshock: Incinerate is cast in this manner: the fact one can do this is actually used as in-game advertisement for the plasmid. Considering Subject Delta in the sequel can use it with a simple wave of his hand, this hints that the trope is actually exploited for Rule of Cool In-Universe. | |

In Doki Doki! PreCure, on the one side, the Selfish Agents turn Psyches into Dark Psyches and rip them off by a single fingersnap - in other words, they rip the people's hearts off. They need the Dark Psyches to turn them into Jikochuus. On the other side, Regina activates her magic abilities by snapping her fingers. She corrupts Psyches by using a Finger Gun instead. The main difference between the Selfish Agents and Regina is that the Selfish Agents can only increase the selfishness of people, while Regina creates selfishness by force. | |

Persona: Persona 5: Joker uses items in battle by snapping his fingers. Additionally, Kunikazu Okumura's shadow snaps his fingers to summon his shadow minions or cast spells, evocative of a master telling their servant to hurry up. In Persona 5 Strikers, Joker ends his All-out Attack with a finger snap. Near the end of the game, Kuon Ichinose summons Shadows to fend off the Phantom Thieves by snapping her fingers, and she's a normal woman and not a Persona user. Persona 3 Reload: Mitsuru Kirijo's Blizzard Edge Theurgy starts with her encasing her enemies in ice, followed by her snapping her fingers, shattering the enemy. |

In d'Artagnan And Three Musketeers (a 1978 Soviet TV adaptation of The Three Musketeers), the Queen has a penchant for snapping her fingers, which hints at her Spanish heritage (finger-snapping is used in Flamenco dancing to accompany the music). This Character Tic became so iconic among the series' fans that it made it even into the 2013 Russian film The Three Musketeers. | |

Manfred von Karma from Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney often snaps his fingers for dramatic emphasis. His finger snaps are so badass that they make a metallic noise.

When Dante first meets him he summons Furiataurus to fight Dante with but a single snap of his fingers, and during his own boss battles he accompanies his attacks or summoning more demons to his aid with more finger snap. As long as he is not moving, Dante in Devil May Cry 4 will make a gesture upon changing styles. If he changes to Gunslinger, he will raise both hands and snap his fingers. |

Final Fantasy: Shiva's Limit Break from Final Fantasy X. She encases her enemy in a solid block of ice, then shatters it by snapping her fingers. Arguably more impressive if you have the shortened summoning animations on as it cuts out everything before the finger snap, which makes it look like Shiva comes in, snaps her fingers and everyone explodes in ice. Final Fantasy XIV examples: The Primal Shiva casts her Diamond Dust spell by snapping her fingers to freeze her enemies and much of the stage in ice. She then stamps her heel down with a loud clack to shatter the ice. The Phantom Thief of Many Faces, when out in the open, causes a number of things to happen by snapping his fingers like a showman. The Ascian Emet-Selch often works his magic with a simple snap of his fingers. Even as Hades, some of his heavy hitting attacks are cued by the sound of his snapping fingers. This is one of the two biggest hints to the identity of the Ancient that saves your party during the Seat of Sacrifice in 5.3 Also in Endwalker the WoL's journey to the distant past reveals that even before the Sundering, Emet-Selch had this particular quirk. |

A few of Granblue Fantasy's characters will do this for their Charge Attacks or regular attacks. For instance, if the Player Character is equipped with their racing skin, they will call their ride with a finger snap as a Charge Attack; Cagliostro, one of the game's most popular characters, will often accompany her skill casting and regular attacking with an initial finger snap. | |

My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic: As part of the Actor Allusion to Q, Discord sometimes snaps his fingers whenever he warps reality. It's worth noting that this is one show where one could count the characters actually having fingers to snap... on the fingers of one handnote although that count has increased with the number of dragons, griffons, hippogriffs, and other assorted creatures. Lauren Faust's notes on him claim that she "cheated" a more expressive arms/legs combination out of the original dragonlike design. Another interesting note is that he can also do this with the fluffy "brush" at the tip of his tail. In the Season 4 finale, Lord Tirek — after subjecting the aforementioned Discord to a Mana Drain in order to gain his power — eventually does one to imprison Twilight's friends (and even Discord himself) in magical spheres, likely as a mockery. Ahuizotl snaps his fingers to summon his army of cats. |

Child of the Storm has Lily Potter, White Phoenix of the Crown, reveal this as one of her signature moves. How badass is it? Well, the first time she uses it, it's almost entirely off-hand and it cows a fragment of Chthon that had been powerful enough to go toe to toe with Odin. Twice. The second time, noting impishly that she doesn't often get the chance to show off, she uses it to transport everyone from London to the royal hall in Asgard. As a deeply impressed Carol puts it... Harry, her son, picks up this trait, sometimes using it as a Finger-Snap Lighter (he's fond of Playing with Fire), and other times to signal that he's going to do something cool. Hermione disapprovingly calls it a piece of unnecessary theatrics. |

PreCure, on the one side, the Selfish Agents turn Psyches into Dark Psyches and rip them off by a single fingersnap - in other words, they rip the people's hearts off. They need the Dark Psyches to turn them into Jikochuus. On the other side, Regina activates her magic abilities by snapping her fingers. She corrupts Psyches by using a Finger Gun instead. The main difference between the Selfish Agents and Regina is that the Selfish Agents can only increase the selfishness of people, while Regina creates selfishness by force. |

Played for laughs in The Court Jester, where a finger snap is the signal that turns on or off the hypnotic conditioning that turns timid Hawkins (Danny Kaye) into a badass, super-confident fencer. Inevitably he always comes into situations where both partners in a conversation keep saying things accompanied by finger snaps, e. g. telling the other that they would not give as much as "that! *snap*" for this, that or the other etc. | |

In one episode of Burn Notice, Michael Westen convinces a gang of hardened Latino criminals to help him. He does this by snapping his fingers, at which point his careful planning will result in the other members of his crew (Sam Axe and Fiona) causing something dramatic and incredible to happen, like a car exploding or a door being blown off its hinges; he essentially intimidates them into helping him. At one point, he has to improvise, and he bluffs by holding up his fingers, ready to snap them. By now, the gang is so afraid of what his finger-snaps cause to happen, even if they are reasonably sure that he's still an ordinary mortal man, that they quickly acquiesce to his demand without him having anything in place. At the end of the episode, as we cut away from the gang members from the last time (Michael's plotting having resulted in them taking control of a large turf from a much-worse cartel), the gang's leader snaps his fingers as he walks away from the scene of the confrontation, full of new confidence and most likely new ideas. This later gets a Call-Back when a client sarcastically asks Michael if he can just make the drug dealers disappear by snapping his fingers. | |

Evie characters that specialize in scythes in Vindictus can learn two major skills that can take enemies out with one snap of their fingers. The first skill, Bloody Thread, surrounds up to four mobs with thread and when Evie snaps her fingers, the thread contracts for massive damage. The second skill, Mark of Death, has her marking up to four mobs, getting the soul from one, and when she snaps her fingers, the souls from the mobs marked are released from the body. Scythe Evies especially love using these skills as a way to finish off bosses. | |

Subverted in The Saga of Darren Shan. Mr Crepsley seemingly has the ability to summon objects to him by snapping his fingers. He later reveals he's actually grabbing them at Super-Speed, and the finger-snapping is a form of misdirection (which he'd know about, as a stage performer). | |

Giant Robo has a villain, the Fabulous Fitzgerald, who can cut anything in half by snapping his fingers at it. Watching him take apart a base and all its troops while practically dancing his way through the flame establishes this character as a badass and psychopath. | |

Super Smash Bros.: Master Hand in Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U has one. It's a weak attack by itself, but if you don't guard it on the ground, you will be dazed. In Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Joker casts his Eiha and Eigaon spells by snapping his fingers with a cool pose. Additionally, Sephiroth casts both Shadow Flare and his Neutral Air Attack with a snap of his fingers. |

Star Trek: The Next Generation: Q's snapping can do all sorts of things, like fling the Enterprise all the way to the Delta Quadrant. To be fair, he's omnipotent, so can do anything he wants with any gesture he wants; he just snaps his fingers to look nonchalant while he does it. Q's been around them for long enough that by "Devil's Due", Picard is using this to signal his crew during trial. In the Star Trek: Voyager episode "Q2", Q's son also picks up this trick. It gets subverted, though, when he gets temporarily Brought Down to Normal, as he learns when he snaps his fingers and nothing happens. Other Q use different gestures to the same effect — Amanda Rogers in "True Q" uses more full arm movements in front of her, while Q2/Quinn in "Death Wish" does a little hand twirl. |

In Spy Kids, Floop uses this to good effect with his robot minions (who resemble a giant humanoid combination of thumbs) with the threat "I snap my fingers and my fingers snap you." | |
