Wink Chip Tricks

We see them all the time, they're fun and they look cool, so why not learn how to do them? Poker chip sets are cheap, so go get yourself a decent set of clay chips (don't get the plastic ones) and practice, practice, practice!

I'll try to post a new one every day.

For the first installment, Antonio Esfandiari shows us how to do the "Chip Twirl."

The thing to keep in mind when learning to shuffle chips, is that you don't need to put as much pressure on the chips to accomplish the shuffle. Slow and easy. :smile: The best way to start is by using 6 chips (3 on each side,) and work your way up. It gets easier.....I can only do 20, because I don't have larger hands.

This is one of the better youtube tutorials I found on chip shuffling. Pay close attention towards the end, where he shows two different colored stacks being shuffled. This is a great way to tell if you're doing it right; because after X amount of shuffles, no matter how large the stacks are, they will be uniform once again. :smile:

edit: Tomorrow's trick will be a fun one that will take alot of practice. Hint: It's one that I've only seen Antonio do, and it always leaves you wondering "how in the hell does he do that?"

This has to be the hardest of all, but I think it's one of the neatest around...

Here's another (somewhat) easy one once you get the hang of it....

edit: actually, this one's better. Even though he's using a silver dollar, it's the same concept; and might be easier to learn it with a coin before moving on to the chips.
