First we need to practice getting the motion down, and locating the pivot points for open strings. The fret numbers inside <>'s are natural harmonics. Notice how each line has two natural harmonics, then an open-string artificial harmonic. All 3 pitches should be identical.

pivot towards bridge ->
Notice how just as you move your left-hand closer and closer to the nut but in increasingly smaller distances for the natural harmonics, you also move your right hand closer and closer to the bridge in increasingly smaller distances for the artificial harmonics. Physically speaking, natural and artificial harmonics are the same thing - only the technique used to create them is different.
