Yeah, that would be way too much time on their hands. Cool vid though.

all I can do is shuffle chips, I kinda know how to do the twist but usually when im sitting I just shuffle.

Shuffling is addictive. I can do 10 on each side, but I can't do any other tricks.

I can do this about 1/2 the time but stopped before i mastered it.

this is actually pretty easy just have to figure out right angles and distances.

I've still never mastered the bounce - I'll get it right maybe 1/20 times by accident

It's the butterfly that's driving me crazy though, I can't get that one down for the life of me

remember to use tourney chips and not cash chips when you are doing tricks its like 100x easier.

OK - hadn't actually thought about that. What's the difference normally?

In the past, I've actually found chip tricks to be harder to do with the tourney chips at our local casino, as they tended to be lightweight plastic and even slightly mismatched in size. Last time I played there they'd just upgraded to shiny new tourney chips that were properly matched and a better weight, basically the same as their cash game chips.

When I practice though I'm mostly using heavier clay chips with a lead centre.

usually the cash game chips are a lot heavier and most casino's weigh them down, its makes them more bulky. 1st time I played live I could not even shuffle the cash game chips but when I went over to my tourney did it no problem.

Great posting. Thanks for putting that up! That was just plain sick. I haven't seen half of those tricks before. I knew about the butterfly, but have never seen a variation where someone uses 5 chips instead of 4. Whenever I'm bored working at a fun corporate event and no one's playing at my table, I work on my chipping but I just can't seem to get the hang of some of them. Not too bad at stacking chips...depending on the type of chips I can do a pair of 10 stacks on each hand simultaneously. I think it's really important to learn these tricks on both hands so that you can do them at the same time and be even more flashier or even to get a good workout for your fingers...never know...may help prevent arthritis when you get older!

I also find myself practicing while walking around school and at work. Helps me relax and focus on my thoughts.

Currently just playing at dropping a chip on the table and having it bounce on a stack of chips. Can get it maybe 1 in 20 tries but it's more of a fluke than anything!

This was a sick video.
