1. Shuffle your poker chips by stacking eight poker chips in two piles of four. Squeeze the two stacks together by placing your fingers on each side of the piles. Lift and separate the poker chips with your middle finger and merge the two piles as one.

2. Flip the poker chips by stacking three together. Form a tripod with your fingers over the stack of chips, grasp them firmly and angle them. Use your thumb to lift the first chip and flip it to the back of the stack.

3. Snap a poker chip by laying two of them in the palm of your hand and place your thumb on top. Slide the top chip forward past the bottom chip and bend your fingers forward using your thumb to stabilize the chip. Slip your thumb between the two chips while pressing down firmly then pull it out quickly and snap the chips together loudly.
