Is there an effective way to teach someone to shuffle their poker chips?
I remember not being able to shuffle poker chips. I don't, however, remember how I learned. I have gotten good at it throughout the years, but have had some trouble teaching others how to do it. I think shuffling your chips is a good way to both pass the time at the table if you're card-dead, and to keep yourself busy while you mull over a possible call, fold, or re-raise. In my opinion, every poker player should be able to do this. Have you found any method helpful in teaching a friend how to do this? How did you learn? Is there something you think about while you first started shuffling that helped you do it the right way?
What are some other good poker chip tricks? How would I learn those?

These are trips on how to shuffle poker chips:
1. Place all your chips together at the table. If you have chips that came from casino that would be the best to learn with because they have rubber bumpers on the chips which make them easily to grip. Those chips sets that are of high quality will also do. The table should also have a felt or soft surface for this will help a beginner to get the proper lift on the chips.
2. Create a two equal-sized stacks of poker chips, then, push them up against each other. Many people find it easier to learn by using six chips and divided them into two stacks of three. It would also be acceptable for beginners to start with 8 chips which is then divided into two stack of four. You should try this before increasing the number of chips.
3.Be sure that your hands are properly positioned over the chips, the pinky and ring finger should be on the outside edge of one stack, with your thumb and index finger at the outside edge fo the other stack. The four fingers mentioned are basically used to hold the two stack ins place. Your middle finger is the only finger free and it should be place in front of the two stacks where they met.
4. With four of your fingers holding the stacks in place, lift the stacks. Use your middle finger to lift up on the stacks at the point where they are joined. The inside edge of the stack will be lifted into the air while the outside edge remains on the table. The stacks would now resemble a pyramid or a capital letter A.
5. Slowly release the chips and as you release the tensions on your middle finger, the chips will then fall back on the table and will land over the other like when you are shuffling cards. This is where your fingers on the outer edge is useful because it will prevent the chips from sliding away without them. If you find it hard to layer the chips on top of each other, just try to practice it a few more times. With practice and lots of patience you will be adept on doing this and will find that shuffling chips will become natural fluid motion for you.
