Examples of Chip Tricks

  • The Butterfly

The butterfly is a technique in which 4 chips are used. With one hand, a stack of four chips can be divided evenly between the five fingers, clamping the sides of each chip in between. They are basically 'spread out'.

  • The Flip

The objective of this trick is to flip the front chip in a stack to the back of the stack.

  • The Twirl

With one hand, the middle chip in a stack of three is pushed out, turned, and put back in between the other two.

  • The Riffle AKA "Shuffling Chips"

Two stacks of at least 3 chips (but mostly 5, up to 10 or more) are pushed together, so that the two stacks will become one like a zipper.

  • The Knuckle Roll

One of the more difficult techniques, in the knuckle roll a chip is clamped between the thumb and index, and from there moved to the other side of the hand, clamping it three times between the fingers. The chip does not actually roll, but is flipped over each time.

  • Around the clock

The aim of Around the Clock is to take a poker chip right around your index finger and then flip the chip back to its starting position. The trick begins in the same way as the twirl trick. The middle chip is held with the middle and ring finger. The chip is then taken around the index finger by moving the middle and ring fingers up as the index finger is moved down. The middle chip is then rolled above the index finger, which is then used to put pressure on the chip. This should make the chip spin back into position with a slight jump.
