Practice makes perfect when it comes to poker chip tricks.
Often it is difficult to practice during games
when you should be focussed on your bets, your opponents,
your cards and other factors more important than chip tricks.

I recommed getting your own set of chips and practicing on your own before doing the tricks during games. Before you know it you might have them down as solid as pros like Dutch Boyd.

I went from Heathrow Thursday night to Myles office and we went thru all the tricks that were going to be performed. So on Friday it was up 6.30 am and off to the Black Island studio. When we got there nothing was set for filming, so got to practise some.
The shoot started about 9am on Friday morning. It was a big setup with rails for the camera dolly and stuff like that. Myles told me that the whole commercial is filmed in HD - High Definition. Awesome quality, he said that 1 second of film takes up about 1GB of hard drive space.
First setup was the camera going in a straight line towards the table. I did 7 or 8 tricks with that cam angle, almost half the day went by really quickly.
The hardest thing was to do tricks on command. When Myles yelled Action, the camera started moving, I had to wait, then he yelled Anders Left hand, then Anders right hand.
Since they only needed my hands there was no full body shot or interviews, so I couldn’t plug 21ace. I did talk a lot to Conrad, the Pokerstars representative, and he was really curious on how I got this gig, and I told him it was through 21ace.com, and he picked up his mobile phone and asked for the address again, so he put the 21ace address in his phone, that’s better then nothing. I also told everyone there about 21ace. When Conrad walked in he went right over to me and shook my hand, then he turned my hand and looked at my watch and nodded. And one other thing is those chips Pokerstars provided was those crappy dice chips, and I told Conrad my thought about these chips, and he totally agreed with me =)
And I got to meet Isabella (No Mercy) Mercier that was really cool, she’s one of the best female poker players in the world, but she was very down to earth, she’s gorgeous too. Sorry to say I was just leaving for the Heathrow when they started her shoot =(
I’m really happy about the whole trip and all the people involved, Myles, Adam, Conrad, Ed the camera man and his crew were really awesome. When we got to the studio I picked up my camera and it just died, I told Adam I needed some new batteries, 15 min later I had 4 new to put in my camera. Pokerstars wanted 6 Tricks for the shoot; we recorded 12 tricks I think. Lot’s of ambidex tricks can’t wait to see what the finished product looks like. I’ll get the DVD when it’s done edited. The whole trip was free, Myles said they had an budget of 450-500 L and when that limited time I think my flight ate most of the budget, but I don’t really care cause the whole experience was so awesome, and I got lots of Pokerstars.com stuff which is cool. I will post the commercial when I get it from Myles, if I can. If I get to rate this trip on scale from 1 to 10, I rate it 1 million!! Peace, TheEMan
