The Poker Chip

The first chip trick most players learn is the riffle. Grab six chips from your stack and set them down on the table. With one hand, break them into two stacks of three. Push the two stacks together, gently, while pulling them upward. After a bit of practice, two stacks will shuffle together neatly, like a deck of cards, re-forming into a single stack. Soon you'll be grabbing the six chips from your stack without even looking. Experienced rifflers can shuffle stacks of two or three times that size.
