How to shuffle poker chips (like a professional)

You might have seen this flourish performed in movies like the sting or casino royale, or when watching poker on TV. Impress your friends or family with this fun technique to shuffle poker chips. It can also be used for coins and other small disk like objects.

[@nicolaihellstenpoulsen2419]

lol, im sitting ready to learn it and he pulls at the excact same pokerchips as mine and goes "theese are rugh, plasticy and heavy, there hard to do it with"

[@younghybrid9993]

Same lol

[@lucapleuler2004]

Me too

[@IXLDGOLD]

lmaooo same

[@galvidmar1247]

I have the exact same chips and it works great for me

[@galvidmar1247]

@Zayn Hayes lol

[@Rob-Mc]

I'm an actually shocked at the lack of coordination I have with my hands. Thanks for the video. I'm going to practice

[@johndoh4064]

That rotation ( which is missing from EVERY other vid I watched ) has made ALL the difference. Thanks !

[@usedatomicbomb2]

HONESTLY once he mentioned that I was able to do it so much easier

[@bengreen927]

yep same

[@AndyTomin]

The sounds of the chips are so satisfying...... Ooooooohhhhhh

[@cryptonator1988]

Its annoying when all 9 people are doing it the poker table for hours non stop.. if your thinking about wheather you should call or raise or fold its fine but the whole time its annoying in my opinion.. then again everything you do gives yourself away too your opponents..

[@FSM_Soleran]

@@cryptonator1988 Everything you do at the poker table conveys information.

[@standeman32]

Easily the best video out there. Thanks for explaining what each finger should be doing. Lots of people don’t mention that you should rotate while finishing the stack

[@EatMoreChikenOrElse]

Me: using the rough crappy chips on a wooden table…

[@minhtrinh3646]

Has it all: the table, the materials, and the fingers motions

[@bergie4254]

Very well done...Explained and demonstrated nicely!!!

[@liamtttt6871]

Best shuffling tutorial I’ve seen in KZbin. No one else mentioned the thumb and pinkie rotation.

[@jamcard]

this is the best shuffling chips tutorial on the youtube

[@rodzilla2513]

Thank you!!!! The rotation of the thumb is the trick....great video my friend

[@Justin-rk3nn]

Great video. Your advice to move the pinky and thumb together really helps with larger stacks.

[@919ofak]

Great video! I think I'm using the wrong or (harder) chips that I got in a kit. They are pretty heavy, but your video pointed me in the right direction.

[@JTurn916]

Best tutorial I’ve seen on here

[@first_namelast_name5139]

The inward turn tip is definitely the missing piece! Great video man

[@editha8705]

Great tutorial. Thanks

[@jstandards766]

I really enjoyed the difference of a professional poker player explaining this, and you, a magician, explaining this. This video has given me the last bit i needed with the rolling of pinky and thumb. You were able to get much more technical than the pro poker player, who probably has done this action wayyyyy more than most magicians. Enjoy the difference of experience vs expertises. love it. thanks.

[@razldazle10]

The thumb pinkie push together thing is what gave me the most success. Thank you, most people for any skill don't think about minute details that assist with completing the task.

[@uhmyes856]

oh my goodness i was struggling really bad and as soon as i did this it worked!

[@nogimmicks43rd]

Hey how are you. So whats the name/weight/material of the chips u are using. Any of those infos would help out thank you. I need me smooth chips like those.

[@nogimmicks43rd]

Hello. What material are these chips?. Thank you

[@mnogogranin]

What the chips did you use on the video?

[@drmqnu]

It is very hard to find perfet chips, shooth like to do tricks like that. Can you tell the size, weight & dimmenisons the cips you are using (plastic or clay)

[@hanellipsis]

I'm pretty certain La Chiffre in Casino Royale does the chip flip, not the shuffle. But you'll see pro poker circuit players shuffle a lot.

[@msolar2]

Are they clay, 13 gram poker chips?

[@HunterLeaderPro]

How do you actually insert each chip between each other equally? I always end up shoving 2 chips in between the gaps. So mine would be with 6 chips, Red, Blue, Blue, Red, Blue, Red. I need that satisfaction of filling them evenly.

[@magician4u]

Very good....I watch first video on KZbin pokar chep shuffling. Great video dud....Keep up it..

[@zbstudios8927]

What are the best chips?

[@NightyBla]

Thanks I had only the bad chips at home and tried and tried but don't realized that I had the wrong chips. xD

[@heyfrosty9429]

I didn’t give up because the tutorial was bad, I gave up because I’m bad

[@alexisrodriguez7127]

Same my hands are small so I can’t do it

[@bobhoffer5426]

If the chips are so important, please tell us where we can get them.

[@steezyboiiii808]

Well he did he told you just the suggestions to make it the easiest

[@rickysmith6041]

im stuck on the starting position, I can’t pick the chips up with it

[@GambleZee]

You are giving away my secrets!

[@elpapito24529]

I always wonder if it's possible to do this with coins

[@bocobo9674]

Where can I get those good chips

[@bblluuxx]

where can i find those poker chips they look awesome

[@SergeantExtreme]

You can't. They were custom made by and sold on Zazzle by a storefront called "Designs by Rachel". That storefront has since been shut down, and these chips can no longer be purchased.

[@recluseliang1291]

the best

[@Cynic269]

Are those poker chips on Amazon? Can you link them on description

[@SergeantExtreme]

No, they were custom made by a Zazzle storefront.

[@scooterallen1834]

This guy must be a good guitar player

[@Chsojdksd]

what material of your chips?

[@SergeantExtreme]

Those look like a polyethylene based plastic. They're just cheap plastic poker chips.

[@naswiipp]

I can't do it and been playing for 20 years. It hurts every muscle in my wrist when I get it right.

[@TheRealFumigator]

Aha, it was that pushing in motion of thumb and pinkie that I was missing. As soon as I did that my shuffle went from chaotic to flawless. Thx!

[@dylanoleary5511]

I know this video was 6 years ago but thank you so much 🥲 have watched every video and this is the only one taking about the thumb and pinkie spin and coming together. Hope you are doing well

[@donald2446]

cool

[@projhekpallet7067]

so the first steps is tom lift the middle finger up? :-)

[@JunixZzHD]

You failed to mention the pressure in each finger. I feel like that is the solution to my sloppy way of doing it.

[@antithesis6455]

WHAT POKER CHIPS ARE THESE????

[@fahmikaplai]

Where do you buy that chip ?

[@SergeantExtreme]

You can't. They were custom made by a Zazzle storefront called "Designs by Rachel". They no longer exist.

[@rocketradish3249]

My stack keeps falling apart. Why?

[@VikingsFan27]

Does it work with clay chips?

[@SergeantExtreme]

Yes. It will work with literally any chips (including ceramics).

[@stratiarkos]

what poker chips are those? The "good" ones I mean

[@snoweh1]

If you want actual good casino quality poker chips, you can buy ex-casino chips (Paulson chips), or search 'classic poker chips'. They're both made from clay, and they're lighter than plastic or "ceramic" (which are also plastic). The look, texture, weight, etc. is noticeably different and much nicer. They're much more expensive, but if you plan to buy a chip set and keep it forever, may as well get something of higher quality. Classic poker chips even lets you customise the chips, from colour to spots to the inlay. They're obviously even more expensive, but they should last a lifetime. You can always buy a sample set to see how they feel, and I'd highly recommend that. Poker chips is a very expensive hobby, but unless you're looking to collect multiple sets, there's no reason to buy more than one initial set.

[@SergeantExtreme]

@@snoweh1 Don't short sell ceramics. The quality of BR Pro Poker chips is through the roof. For those not willing to pay $2 for CPC (or slightly cheaper for used Pausons), BR Pro ceramics are an excellent buy; and (in my opinion) are the best "middle market" chips in existence.

[@FSM_Soleran]

I uhmm... ok so... the first time I ever touched chips I was at my uncle's house and he was gonna teach me to play poker. I did this shuffling of the chips without even thinking about it, and he got mad and told me to stop.

[@SergeantExtreme]

Your uncle's a smart man. I can't even watch WSOP due to their incessant chip shuffling.

[@misterclownface]

Shuffling of chips is the opposite of annoying to me. It is ASMR to me.

[@dreisaum9916]

I actually used the other chips you showed as a negative example to learn it. I can do it now with 16 chips. Now i would like to move towards the better chips. Do you have any tips on what chips i should use?

[@tonyp6997]

I would try with ceramic chips instead of clay. A bit more expensive though

[@SergeantExtreme]

Yes. Great example of fantastic chips would be anything from BR Pro Poker. They make the finest ceramic chips in all of America (the world in my personal opinion).

[@shaunmark1]

I'm pretty good at shuffling, can do it about 85% of the time, but with the pinky/thumb mention, I'm going at more like 98%, thanks!

[@quanghuypham5098]

2:49 This is so difficult, I can't separate my ring and middle finger flexibly

[@iankerr472]

well then. i sit down to learn and he pulls the exact same chips i have to show what not to use lmao

[@pathofthegamer8590]

Haha. Yeah. I've had some cheap and heavy Brybellys the last couple of years. I'm looking for some nice Ceramics and he just validated my reason.

[@yoyosmsmdahab2137]

Please watch casino royale onother time

[@yoyosmsmdahab2137]

Excuse me le chiffre or Madse miklsn did not shuffle the chips

[@thanhquangduong2503]

[@yoyosmsmdahab2137]

But he did the thumb roll trick

[@Bruhloke]

[@jameslahey6358]

Reviewbrah?

[@cody2820]

[@lobixderzweite7346]

Well I have exactly the poker chips u are not supposed to use, so bye bye professional poker carrier

[@giorgiomairate8094]

Same dude... all hopes crushed so early into the video

[@lilchiparchitect2051]

My dad can do this! I am 8 and I build things out of poker chips on my channel.
