Touch your chin with the tip of your middle finger, keeping your palm facing toward you. Then, move your hand outward and forward, twisting your wrist so your palm ends up facing away from you.
Sign 'good' followed by 'luck.' When signing 'luck,' you can direct the outward twisting motion slightly toward the person you are wishing well, accompanied by an encouraging smile.
