touch is not best. Close to touching is better it allows you to see/hear the spark. The reason is to complete the circuit. think of it like a light if you hold the bare wire three feet away from the lamp the power wont get there.

To test spark I just put an insulated screwdriver into wire, then so that the metal has an arc distance between it and a ground on the car. You can then do this on your own as you can position the screwdriver so it's visible from the driver's seat.

My dad got me really good when I had my hand on the a pillar of my FC, started cranking the car and bam, **** ****** that hurts.
But like previously stated, don't let it touch, get it really close.
