Try improving the dexterity of fingers as much as you possibly can. Play a piano or a flute at least once every day. The idea is to make your fingers accustomed to sudden movement which means any musical instrument with several keys will work. If musical instruments do not interest you at all, cross-stitching or twirling pencils through fingers will help enhance finger dexterity.

Master one finger trick before moving on to the next. Although there are countless finger tricks that you can learn but taking on more than one trick at a time will not do any good. You can gradually add more tricks to your repertoire but trying to learn numerous tricks in one go at the very start will be meaningless because you will be wasting your efforts.

For instance, if you are speed solving a Rubik’s cube, the position of your index and middle fingers holds pivotal importance. If you are able to position your fingers on the cube accurately, you will be able to rotate and spin it much faster.

So you must learn the techniques of palming objects ad using props when required.
