Holding more

Well, your flash has to be connected somehow, right? Usually by a
cable. Put a piece of velcro on the flash handle, put a piece on the
remote release, and twine the remote cord with the flash cable,
mounting the remote release on the flash handle. Hold it, squeeze
with your thumb.
Hmm. A buddy of mine has a Canon. Can I make his camera fire at
unintended
moments? It would be great as a practical joke. :)
Only if you run a cable to his camera ... I guess.
