The Chip Bounce Poker Chip Trick
Learning how to do the chip bounce poker chip trick is quite simple. The hard part of the trick is to do it in a consistent manner. The success of the chip bounce trick is dependent on the following factors: the weight of the chips used, the material of the chips used, and the material of the table surface.
When you use a softer chip, the result of the chip bounce is much better. The table surface that you must use is the soft ones such as the gaming table made of felt. Softer chips and softer table surface can make mastering the chip bounce trick easier.
Put a stack of four to six poker chips on the table. The number of chips in the stack will depend on how high you want the chip to bounce off the table after making the drop.
Start the trick by holding a chip between the thumb and the index finger. Then, tilt the chip slightly towards the direction of the stack on the table. The exact angle of the tilt will always depend on the following elements: how high the chip is above the stack, is the poker chip light or heavy, and is the table surface soft or hard. As a start, you can tilt the chip on a slight angle and continue adjusting the angle until you get the feel for the trick.
When dropping the chip, make sure it lands about an inch or more away from the stack of chips. It is important to consider that the chip must land on its edge in a slight angle towards the direction of the stack. This act can make the chip bounce off the table and hopefully, will land on the stack of poker chips. That the very purpose of this trick.
It takes a lot of practice and tries before you can make the first perfect chip bounce trick. If compared to other poker chip tricks available such as the butterfly trick, the chip bounce trick will not give you that same kind of trouble.
To make the bounce of the chip higher, you will just hold the chip a little bit higher than usual. To change the arc that the chip makes as it bounces off the table, just increase the angle of the tilt. Find the effective combination of these three factors - angle, height, and landing spot - to have consistency in your performance.
To be consistent in your performance of the chip bounce poker chip trick, always use the same chips and always perform on the same type of table surface. This chip trick is a feel trick. When you have the right feel for the trick, you will actually be successful in performing the trick.
