Default Tells: hand motions (Harrington & Caro)

(not sure where to post this question)

"I group physical tells into three categories:
1. Facial expressions
2. General body language
3. Hand motions
Of the three, I've found that hand motions are the most reliable and revealing... ...Basically, I'm looking to see if players handle their chips and move chips into the pot any differently with strong hands or weak hands. If I see something, I assign it a high degree of reliability until I get evidence to the contrary."

-Harrington, Dan & Robertie, Bill. 2004. Harrington on Hold'em: Expert Strategy for No-Limit Tournaments, Volume 1: Strategic Play. Part three: Physical Tells (p.85-86). Two Plus Two Publishing

Mike Caro also mentions hand motions in his film, but I've found little use of his "Betting with a Flair"-tip. At my local club in Oslo, Norway, I find players "betting with a flair", regardless of what they hold. They also keep re-stacking their chips alot, both when they hold monsters or sheit.
The only reliable tell I have on a lot of the players, is that they seem to move their cards around on the table alot when they want you to fold.
Other than this, I'm at loss. Can someone please elaborate on this a bit? I'm looking for more specific hand-motions tells, not a general "weak means strong"-advice.
