Posted by freezelord on May 13, 2007 at 11:50

Damn, I totally missed this post so I got to bring it back up, claiming: "hell yeah I can shuffle 34 chips with one hand, and my dick IS bigger than all of yours!"

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 24, 2007 at 10:04

I've practiced and practiced shuffle the last few days and I've improved to where I can get 8-9 consistently and 10-12 sketchily. I'm a little better than I did in my video now if that tells you anything for whoever watched it.

Posted by royalJBZ on March 22, 2007 at 23:18

you're welcome

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 22, 2007 at 20:31

I use clay-composite chips, just got them recently and I don't have too much experience so i dunno if they're any good. I did recently try varying the angle and I can get 8 sometimes, 6 consistently now. Thanks for all the help royal you gave me a lotta good advice

Posted by royalJBZ on March 22, 2007 at 17:12

try to vary the angle when lifting up the chips stacks with your initiating finger, sometimes that helps. what kind of chips do you use?

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 22, 2007 at 16:43

_wow i post a lot on this thread_

Yay I can get 5 now on each side semi consistently

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 22, 2007 at 16:11

I'm trying... I can get 4 on each side sometimes (lol) on soft surfaces. I think if I do it faster it will help I won't give up on it it's just frustrating

Posted by royalJBZ on March 22, 2007 at 16:10

Don't give up, keep on training! I've also had some problems with this trick at the beginning, now I'm doing 14-15 on each side.

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 22, 2007 at 15:58

I can still barely do 4 I don't know why but I have a natural disability at this trick lol.

Posted by ogot on March 21, 2007 at 18:29

Just started learning the shuffle a week ago, I postponed it on purpose because I couldn't seem to get past 4 when I first started a few months ago, so I left it and moved on to others..

But now I really started practicing it, I noticed that I REALLY had to use my middle finger for support, and that's when I got past 4..

So now I'm on 7 each side for WPT poker chips, moving on to 8 once I can do an entire cycle without thinking about it..

10 each stack with clay chips. i think Paulson-sized

Posted by LogicalTightRope on March 20, 2007 at 21:06

MAN YOU GUYS suck! I can get 50-60 on each side every time! But seriously, I can barely shuffle. I get 5-6 on each side if I'm lucky.

Sounds like it would be a fun time at the Castle. If it wasn't in England I might check it out.

Posted by MW on January 20, 2006 at 01:49

Hi thanks for the welcome

Dan the man, I still work in a casino, the cardroom is contained in there. Its very small and its called Castle Casino. I live 500 yards from it too so very convenient We hold Texas Hold Em comps nightly, and it s only pot limit and we can only hold 77 players maximum, but it has a great social feel to it. Unfortunatley, as i work in a casino, I can't play poker anywhere in the UK, only online, we can have home games etc but it just aint the same!!



Michael

I met him in my local magic store, probably 3 maybe 4 years ago. He had just been to a lecture in Ipswich, and he was staying with the store owner. I had just seen someone do it the previous day, and thought it was done with thread!!

We had a little session with the coins. He showed me the technique purely as I was going for my circle audition 6 months later. I practised with two dollar coins glued together to really build the muscle, and when I did it with a 8 or 9gram chip, it nearly hit the ceiling!! well, not quite.

Was a great afternoon, I didn't stay too long but I'll hopefully see him in February if he's at the Blackpool convention... with a whole host of other greats! Get the Shoot and Apollo dvd, great stuff on there.

I used it in the audition.... the rest as they say is history

Regards
Mark

Hey, thanks for you help. The instructions on your site were very helpfull. I was able to learn how to shuffle the chips and be able to successfully shuffle stacks of 6 in about 20 mins. Its been about 4 days now and i can shuffle about 10/10, the only problem i have is the chips tend to slide out of the center!! Now have some chips at my computer at all times and just shuffle when i die playing video games!

P.S. ty for your help

Posted by DanTheMan3 on January 19, 2006 at 16:22

Welcome to the forum. Thats pretty impressive MW. What casino did you work in?? What's the name of the cardroom you run?

Posted by MW on January 19, 2006 at 09:36

Hi all

Just found this site while looking for more magic. A little intro?

I don't know a lot about chips, just the general weights, and I'm not a collector, but I've worked in a casino for the last 6 years, and now run a cardroom, so chip tricks are a daily thing!! Love some of the tricks you guys can do, some I havn't seen, but I'll have a crack at them.

I'm also a magician, (trying to go full-time) and included in my chip presentation is the muscle pass, about 2-3feet with a chip, 1 - 2 feet with a dollar coin.(taught to me personally by Shoot Ogawa, that may mean nothing to you!! )

I've got a video, its linked to putfile, I did it a while ago for a magic forum, its only short, but crank up the speakers!! Just a couple of chip stuff and a little card stuff. (You'll notice when I shuffle 20 I miss the bottom one....doh. )

http://media.putfile.com/Awesome_Magic

Just to keep the topic up, I can do 13 each side every time, and 14 - 15 if my fingers are feeling limber, and i'm lucky

Regards
Mark (23 UK)

Posted by DanTheMan3 on January 13, 2006 at 15:51

The most I can do with a high rate of success is 11 on each side. This is when I use my Modern Clay poker chips. With thin cheap plastic chips I can get 13.

Posted by Scooter77 on January 05, 2006 at 23:47

WWWWEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!

Posted by chip magnet on January 05, 2006 at 22:24

Well I can do 2 stacks of 15 but not the greatest. 13 is the highest while doing it comfortably.

FANTASTIC!!! Keep up the good work!

Posted by pokerboy962 on January 03, 2006 at 17:19

i can do 24 but it is a little hard 4 me to do

Posted by Seano on December 01, 2005 at 20:25

13 is the most ive done, but not with a high success rate. im a small guy and my hands arent ginormous so with a little practice and a little growing i can do more

Posted by Michael Marino on November 14, 2005 at 00:57

LMFAO this thread is great, it's like a my dick is bigger than yours contest gone wrong.

EDIT: LMFAO even more, this was my 69th post. One hell of a coincidence.

Posted by fattyonadiet on November 13, 2005 at 23:42

Posted by Chris Ferguson Fan on November 13, 2005 at 23:41

Posted by fattyonadiet on November 13, 2005 at 23:29

Wow Marp, impressive, but I can do stacks of 1 BILLION!!!

Posted by marpenothi on November 13, 2005 at 18:49

100

Posted by Chip and a Chair on November 13, 2005 at 18:08

Using those cheap Cardinal 7.2g chips I can shuffle up to 20 chips, and with the Cardinal 11.5g Dice chips I can do about 16-18. I can also shuffle up to 6 in each hand at the same time.

Posted by Scooter77 on August 15, 2005 at 19:10

Please stop posting those vids. I am not going to believe until I can actually see it. Until you get a better camera, I stand by my stance on this.

Yeha but I though we disscussed the fact if it was possible, not if HE did it in that case i agree with you, it is not possible

Sreen

Posted by Scooter77 on August 15, 2005 at 14:52

Yes but in his "video" which you cant see anything, i noticed he does put the "32 chip stack" together with one hand...placing it over the whole stack.

Posted by Sreename on August 15, 2005 at 14:49

well since you can actually move your hand up and let the already stacked chips rest I DO think it is possible, although it requires extreme skill and a lil natural help in the way of big hands will help offcourse. I wil try and attempt to get 40 in the upcoming weeks. Ill keep you posted

Sreen

Posted by TheEMan on August 15, 2005 at 14:43

thnx Sree

and i have to agree with scooter i think itīs close to impossible to do 20 on each side

Posted by Scooter77 on August 15, 2005 at 14:40

Mathematically your hand would have to be at least 9 inches to even be able to come close to doing 16 on each side. A stack of 32 chips if 4.5 inches, if your hand is going down both sides it must be at least 9 inches. A stack of 40 chips is 5.5 inches high, meaning your hand would have to be 11 inches from tip of middle finger to bottom of palm. Feel free to contibute any thoughts on my math for this one, I just don't find this physically possible.

Posted by Sreename on August 15, 2005 at 14:02

Still nice though

Sreen

Posted by TheEMan on August 15, 2005 at 14:00

This is the only way i can do 40 chip shuffle at the same time LOL
not with one hand though

Posted by Twirlmasterflex on August 15, 2005 at 10:45

the most i have done is 11 on each side and i really dont have the desire to do more especially friggin 20 on each side

Posted by T}{eLaZeR on August 15, 2005 at 08:29

I can get about 13 maybe on each side, but doesn't work out very well...

I can do 10-11 automatic though.

Prodigy how big are your hands...like seriously....measure from the end of your middle finger to the bottom of your palm.

I'm going to attempt to prove this one wrong mathematically.

Posted by Scooter77 on August 14, 2005 at 12:31

I doubt that was 16...maybe 10. From what I can see in the vid your hand still has quite a bit of space between the chips prior to the shuffle, which isn't the case if you were doing 16. If someone feels like proving me wrong go for it, but I still will only believe what I see clearly.

Posted by prodigy989 on August 14, 2005 at 05:20

Vid quality is terrible but heres me doing a perfect 16 on each side

Posted by pate08 on August 14, 2005 at 03:13

I use the 11.5 gram deluxe diamond and I just got 14 on each side.

Posted by TheEMan on July 26, 2005 at 06:13

10 i guess, never tried more =)

Posted by KRIPT on July 25, 2005 at 21:51

I can get 5 with plastic

and 6 with clay cardinal 11.5's

Posted by Stannic on July 16, 2005 at 02:37

Plastic 12 and 12

"Clay" (Paulsons) 10 and 10

Posted by Nathan on July 16, 2005 at 01:48

none lol i suck at shuffling, i cant get it, but hten again, i jsut started doing chip tricks, but i will get it down and tell ya, i am using Cardinal Dice chips 11.5grams

Posted by Eric Happy Meal on July 16, 2005 at 01:31

the chips i have slide around too much for my liking, but the most ive tried is 8.

Posted by Sreename on July 15, 2005 at 03:40

Plastic: 15 Chips rather smooth
Clay / Composite: 13 rather smooth

Sreen

Posted by jonjo on July 15, 2005 at 03:25

I can do 12 comfortably, and probably 15 sketchily. THats using 11.5g suited chips.

jonjo

Posted by Scooter77 on July 14, 2005 at 20:22

With my clay chips I can get 13 on each side, but with the smaller plastic ones I have gotten 15 one time successfully. That was hard as hell though.

Posted by Wes2000 on July 14, 2005 at 18:20

After 12 my hand isnt tall enough to touch the bottom anymore lol
