Why Isn’t This Or That Trick Listed?
Either because I don’t know how to do it or I haven’t seen it yet. If you have such a trick, leave a comment below or contact me.
I don’t know how many people have asked about the anti-gravity trick (also called the muscle pass), so I thought I’d just write here about it. This trick is extemely hard to do. Most magicians can’t even do the trick from what I’ve read. The trick is actually a “flick” or flexing of one of the muscles in your palm, which sends the chip into the air. I’m told it takes months of practice and frankly I don’t have the patience to learn it. If anyone can do it though, please let me know.

I can do this with a half-dollar. I learned when I was a kid - it took months and months of practice, but now I’m 26 and I can still do it. Practice with a half-dollar, and if you can master that, you’ll be able to do it with a poker chip as well.

An easy to do but decent looking trick is the chip roll-back. You hold a chip vertically with an edge between your thumb and pointer finger, and softly slam it on the table. While maintaining a vertical position, the momentum will send the chip going away from you for a second, but the reverse spin will make it come back.
