The Knuckle Roll Chip Trick

When you think about poker chip tricks, the Knuckle Roll is often the first that comes to mind. The mechanic of the trick is quite simple, but takes a large number of hours practising in order to get to the point that everything rolls fluidly.

Begin with a poker chip between the thumb and index finger. The best is to use a ceramic chip when first learning.

Use your thumb to push the chip up. Lower your index finger to let the chip flop over the top of your index finger. When the chip begins to flop over, allow it to slide down while bringing up your middle finger so that it is caught near the base of your middle finger.

Now move your fingers together making them even again. This will force the chip to snap upright.

Now let the chip flop over your middle finger by lowering it. Allow it to slide down towards your ring finger, catching it near the base.

Move your fingers together again to force the chip to snap upright.

Lower your ring finger so the chip again flops to the right. Try to catch it with your pinky finger, which won’t be easy at first and you will need some time to practice.

Snap the chip upright by bringing your fingers together.

Finally, the chip moves under the ring finger, middle finger and index finger so that it is back in the starting position between the thumb and the index finger.

Start the process again.

The Knuckle Roll Chip Trick is a nice poker chip trick because once learned, you can do it in a long loop. It may be hard to learn but is achievable with patience and practice.

Good luck!
