What shannon said, start out by offering him food held between your fingers (sunflower seeds works best for me with my dwarf and syrian). once he takes it from your fingers offer it from the center of your palm. Basically the idea is to make him think your hand is the bringer of tasty treats. With enough time and patience he'll associate your hand with yummy food.

Hamsters are highly motivated by food and safety.
