What's your technique for shucking clams?!
Either the clam opens or it doesn't.
Answers: Buy her a few drinks, ask her if she'd like to hear the new song you're working on, drive her to your place, feed her a few more drinks, tell her you loved her at first sight.

Stiff Brushes
Towels
Clams
Bowls
Clam Knives
Paring Knives
Make sure hard-shell clams are alive by checking that they are tightly closed; check that soft-shell clams react to your touch. Discard dead clams.
Scrub clams under running water using a stiff brush.
Hold the clam in the palm of your hand using a towel so that you don't cut your hand, and work over a bowl to ensure that you catch the clam's juices.
Make sure the clam's hinge is braced against the part of your palm nearest your thumb (the "meat" of your palm).
Work a paring or clam knife into the part of the shell near your fingertips.
Slide the knife around the clam's shell so that you cut the muscle at its hinge.
Open shell.
Scrape the muscle from the top shell into the bottom shell.
Serve clams on the half shell, or remove meat from shells to prepare for other dishes.
Here in the midwest we shuck corn!
Check this out, it's FLAWLESS:
When they are done steaming or boiling, act like you don't quite know how to do it. Grandma will show you. Screw it up again--she'll show you again. Cut yourself on a shell and she'll do them all.
