If you do it quickly it can even look like a little magic trick.
or are you referring to Alex Van Halen?
Means I have my thumb, index and middle fingers available for playing.
I quickly slip it between the 6th and 7th fingers which keeps it right out of the way

Ahh pick...
As an alternative, I generally prefer to hybrid pick, holding the pick while using my middle, ring and pinkie fingers. But I can't play such intricate things as I can when I have my index and middle fingers free.
I work in the NHS in a cancer care role (non-medical) so I was interested when I heard this theory. There is apparently a possible link between nickel and some types of cancer (lung, oral, nasal), but it's still unproven and linked more to metalworkers and other professions that have regular exposure to nickel dust than to guitarists who put their picks in their mouths (although that's going to be at least in part because metalworkers who develop cancer are a much bigger demographic than guitarists who use metal picks, and put them in their mouths and go on to develop oral cancers).
Inasmuch as anything "causes" cancer (that's not really how it works), the cigarettes and booze were probably much worse for Eddie than putting a metal pick in his mouth.
Don't talk politics and don't throw stones. Your royal highnesses.
