Re: chip tricks?
You can shuffle them, thats pretty easy to do. I learned in about an hour. Start with 3 on each side and then move up to 5 or more.

Re: woah
I have only seen a few others and they were posted on RGP. in one of them you hold 3,4 or 5 chips sideways in your hand and roll them from front to back with your thumb. The other is where you start with 3 chips held also sideways, drop the middle one, spin it around and place back between the two. I am now up to 5 chips, dropping three in the middle to spin. I also instead of rolling the chips over the top with the thumb, like to roll them underneath, similar to dropping the middle one to spin and replace but just rolling it to the back.
Unfortunately giving detailed explanations is not my strong suit so search chip tricks on RGP for better explanations and then ask if you have additional questions. Let me know if you find any new ones [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] |

Get TIVO and record the WorldPokerTour episode with Dutch Boyd. He gives a little instructional.
Then you can play it back in slow motion. |

my favorite trick...
My favorite chip trick and the only one you really need is making your opponent's chips magically yours. (I'm not suggesting the 5 finger discount here. [img]/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img] )
ESPN's 2003 WSOP coverage showed some good ones, especially the 3rd or the 4th episode when they interviewed Dutch Boyd and he covered "Chip Tricks 101". That should keep you busy at the tables. WPT season 1, one with the Iranian guy, forgot this name, but his nickname was "The Magician", Hellsmuth was at the final table. Anyway, he did some crazy off the wall chip tricks that would make Dutch Boyd envious. D |

Re: woah
Be forewarned- getting too good at chip tricks can lead to carpal tunnel.

Re: chip tricks?
gotta do the roll after shuffling the chips,
just hold them on your right hand(if righty) like a roll of quarters, then slide them to the other hand. takes a bit of practice. i wonder if people are really intimidated by chip tricks. |
