How to Do the Around the Clock Poker Chip Trick

In the Around the Clock poker chip trick, you'll impress your observers by taking a poker chip completely around your pointer finger. Then you will amaze them even more by spinning and flipping the poker chip back where it began. The Around the Clock poker chip trick isn't easy to perform, but if you are patient and keep practicing, you'll soon have it mastered.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• 3 poker chips

1. Begin the Around the Clock Trick by holding three poker chips between your pointer finger and ring fingers, keeping the chips perpendicular to your fingers with your middle fingers supporting the chips.

2. Move the middle chip from your ring and middle finger around your index finger by bringing your pointer finger down as you move your ring and middle fingers up.

3. Rotate the middle chip over your index finger as you begin to put pressure on the poker chip with your pointer finger.

4. Practice the trick so that once you have mastered it, the poker chip will flip and jump back into the original position.

Tips & Warnings

• There should be a slight space between the chips and the end of your fingers. The bending of the pointer finger is where the back chip should be positioned.
• Separating the chips and spinning the chip while still holding it between your fingers can be difficult and frustrating at first, but if you are patient and keep practicing, you'll soon be an act at the Around the Clock poker chip trick.
