Yeah I have small hands too, its weird because it came rather easy to me. I can't shuffle 22 chips perfectly everytime but then again I just started doing 22 2 days ago. I can shuffle 20 perfectly for each hand. In fact, I have 22 chips right next to me and I shuffle them all day long. When I get done posting this, I'm gonna shuffle them.

Nah thats whats odd is that I have very small hands. I don't know how that works out. If you just try once you get good at shuffling a certain amount of chips, to add another 2 chips, then you'll get better. Thats what I did. I started off shuffling 6 chips and was horrible at it.

I was thinking drugs like crack, heroin, etc.... But those photos were very disturbing.

what scares me the most is that they somehow found their way...wait, the fact they were posted here somewhat validates the disturbedness of the situation.

shuffling the chips is definitely an addicition, my buddies hate it! i do it the whole time, just something to do while ur not playing. The best way to learn how to shuffle chips is just practice practice practice.

Here is how I learned. First of all don't try to learn on a hard surface. Set the chips on a towel on a table to start with. I used a rubber coaster and two stacks of four chips. Only use two fingers at first. Put your thumb on one end of the chips and your middle finger on the other end. Make sure the tips of your fingers are touching the table. Now push DOWN with both fingers on the top of the outside of the chips. You should see the chips rise where they meet in the middle. Once you get them to rise up, wrap your other fingers around the chips and put the index finger between the stacks. Now push down with the two fingers to get the chips started and use the index finger to lift them up and push together with the thumb and middle finger. Once you get it to work you won't have to push down on the outside very hard.

this was explained in a post above. but, i'll let you give the reiteration, just to be nice. :wink: but anyway, you could also bring your ring finger into the action on the opposite side of the chip as the middle finger. that's how i learned, and it works ok for me.try it either way, whichever one you're most comfortable with.i read above someone's doing the knuckle roll, for a time i had actually progressed to doing two on one hand, one rolling behind the other.took me a few months to do that though.

Now THIS is something I can actually give advice on. Start with only a few chips say 6 and try and make it an even number so when you shuffle its easier. Make sure you'll on a soft surface. If you want to shuffle your chips with your left hand then take your thumb and put it on the right side of right stack of chips, then take your index finger and put it in the center of both stacks. Take your other 3 fingers and apply pressure with all your fingers while pulling them up. Then condense all your fingers and walllaaa.

My roommate and I both work at a local casino, but we have different hours so often I'll be sleeping when he's awake and he'll be sleeping when I'm awake. We tend to go about our business and don't worry too much about waking the other guy up. We're just not going to tiptoe around all day every day because the other person is in bed. That said, we're both pretty hard sleepers meaning it takes a lot to wake either of us up ... UNLESS one of us is in the living room at the poker table shuffling chips. For whatever reason, we can both pick up on that from a mile away and it immediately wakes either of us up even though the doors to our bedrooms are shut. This has happened several times. He can take a shower in the bathroom right next to my room and I won't hear it, but if he's out on the poker table shuffling chips, I immediately wake up. It's tough to avoid shuffling them too because both of us like to just sit there alone, shuffle chips, and think. Some people like to sit and think in the shower, or the car, or their favorite recliner or whatever, but for us we have to sit there and shuffle chips. Weird! :shock:

Chip shuffling is really easy and didn't take me long to get the hang of. I can shuffle 20 perfectly and have done up to 24 with my right hand. I can do 20 in left. Now if I only I could figure out the chip twirl. I've been practicing that for a while and still can't.

I usually do the butterfly (I think that's the name.. where you drop the middle chip, turn it and bring it back up) while i'm not in hands. Then when I get in a hand I usually have my left hand on my cards near my stack and my right hand shuffeling with a stack of chips to bet with. I can do 22 max, hands can't get anymore.

Thats not the butterfly, it's called the chip twirl which is the trick I'm still trying to figure out. I can drop the middle chip easily but can't spin it while keeping it still, it will just fall out or not spin fully.

Ah, just practice bro. You'll get it. I actually put 2 or 3 in the middle drop and spin em.. Just a little more added difficulty. They just came easily to me. I always wanted to be a Harlem Globetrotter when I was young and I can do just about any basketball trick.. so when I started playing cards I wanted to learn chip tricks also. Luckily it wasn't like I needed to really work, they just came to me.The last time I went to Turning Stone Casino, while playing the normal cash game, 3 of us were playing HORSE for money doing chip tricks. that was ceratinly fun and I won
