Sweep
Evelyn Ng performed this trick on a segment of “The Nuts” during the 2004 World Series of Poker. I have no idea what the name of the trick is, so I’m going with “sweep.” It’s a cool looking chip trick but extremely easy to do.
Before you begin
Trick Difficulty - 1
Chips needed - 10 or more
Tutorial
Place the chips flat on a table and in a straight line so that about half of each chip is laying on the previous one.
Whichever hand you will be using to do the trick is the side that should have the chip on top of this line. As an example I do the trick with my right hand, so the line of chips starts with the chip on the left being flat on the table and the remaining chips lines up against it going to the right.
Hold your hand so that your fingers are bent as if you are holding onto a Coke bottle. Place a chip flat against your bent index finger, holding it there with your thumb. About 1/4 to 1/2 pf the chip should be sticking out past the knuckles.
Starting at the end of the line of chips which has the chip on top, run the chip in your hand along the line so that it gently brushes each chip. You should be able to hear it “clicking” along the line. Once you reach the end of the line keep the motion going in that direction for an inch or two past the chips. As you bring back your hand, use the chip to dig underneath the chip that is lying flat on the table. When you do this, the chips will all start to stand up because of a domino-like effect. As they stand up and you continue to sweep your hand along the table, the chips will collect in the palm of your hand because you have been holding your fingers as if there was a Coke bottle in them.
This trick is a lot easier than is sounds. It’s just hard to put into words.

I love this site but the videos load soo slowely and I have cable, and when it does load its rediculously choppy, I would recommend making it a quicktime link.
