To sign 'good luck', start with your dominant hand in an open '8' handshape, where the middle finger is bent inward and the other fingers are extended. Touch the tip of your bent middle finger to your chin. Then, move your hand outward toward the person you are signing to, twisting your wrist slightly so your palm ends up facing forward.
