The Muscle Pass Poker Chip Trick
The muscle pass chip trick is considered as the most difficult poker chip trick that one can try to learn. The other name for this trick is anti-gravity chip trick. The process in doing the trick includes popping the poker chip out of your hand to a height of two inches to more than two feet.
Deciding to learn the muscle pass chip trick within a day is ridiculous because you will be hurting your hand. It is best to give yourself enough time to learn the trick. You can practice doing the trick for ten to 15 minutes a day.
Having dry hands is important in doing the trick because even a little moisture can make the chip slide out, and it will be harder to pop the chip out of the hand. Some hand strength and ability is needed to master the trick coupled with your personal determination.
To begin the muscle pass chip trick, position a poker chip in your hand just like the magician's classic palm position when doing coin manipulation. Push the chip towards the center of the palm of your right hand. Held the chip in place on the area between the muscle base of your pinky finger and the muscle base of your thumb.
The chip should be slightly angled up. The chip's left side that meets the pinky's muscle base is the pivot side. The chip's right side that meets the thumb's muscle base is where the chip will pop out.
Apply enough pressure on the chip using the muscles at your thumb's base. Developing these muscles first may be needed before doing the trick successfully. Continue increasing the pressure on the right side of the chip until it will pop up and out from the thumb muscle.
During the time that the right side of the chip pops up, the left side should be pivoting at the muscle base of the pinky. Do not move your pinky's muscle base. Keep it fixed, only the thumb muscles should be putting forth the force. When the chip stands up, the momentum will cause the chip to be lifted up away from your hand. As the chip leaves your hand, the muscle area of the pinky should be the last place touched by the chip.
You will know that you are having some progress on your practice if you are able to flip the chip to the left. To make the chip really pop up out of your hand will take an immense time of practice.
When you have made the chip pop up a foot or more, catch the chip using the left hand with the palm facing down. Doing it will make the chip appear like it floats from the right hand to the left hand. That is why other people call the trick the anti-gravity chip trick.
The muscle pass chip trick can make your hand get sore, and when it does, it is best to have some rest before proceeding. It is normal to have some callous on your thumb muscle area while learning the trick. And once you have perfected this poker chip trick, you are truly amazing.
