The chip shuffle is the most popular casino chip trick. Everyone wants to learn how to do it. Like any other task requiring some manual dexterity it will take a lot of practice to master.

Start with 8 chips and place them in two piles of 4. This amount seems to work best when you are learning. You should also select two different chip colors so you know you are doing it correctly. I practice with actual casino chips. The ceramic ones you use for home games are not as good to learn with. Put your pinky and ring fingers on the side of the left pile.
