How To Do Poker Chip Tricks

Many poker enthusiasts like to get a very realistic feel for a poker game at home. They also like to portray an image of being poker savvy when engaged in a casino game. Learning a few poker chip tricks can help exhibit your expertise and may also help distract other players, giving you an edge on the competition. One of the easiest tricks to learn is how to move chips from front to back In one hand.

Start off with a stack of chips that is not too big to fit by holding them with your first two fingers and your thumb. Using your thumb, slide the first poker chip up and away from the rest of the stack and maneuver it to the back. This trick takes some dexterity but is not difficult to master with a little practice. This is a great tool to use while considering your hand.

Twirling chips is another fairly easy trick to learn. You start off with three poker chips, separate the middle one from the stack and rotate them throughout your fingers in a circular motion. The hardest part of this trick is the initial middle chip separation. Once you have that down, the rest will be easy to master.

The knuckle roll is one of the most popular tricks around. This trick uses one poker chip that is moved across the back of your hand over the knuckles. Use your thumb to propel the poker chip onto your first knuckle. Raise each finger to flip the poker chip onto the next one. Do the same in reverse to make the chip travel back.

This trick takes a bit of practice but once you have it down it will be second nature to you. This trick can easily distract other players which may give you an advantage by not letting them be able to read your body language. Another interesting trick is to start off with three chips in the palm of your hand.  Using your thumb, move the first chip between your pinkie and ring finger. Move the second chip between your ring and middle finger.
