You can ask for a hint, though. I know my partner is seeking theirs because I was given one.

I believe technically you only have to do the hand motion, but it's a very conspicuous hand motion. But you have to be very nearby, and also in practice no one can resist shouting "Counterspell" when they cast it. It's just so fun.
