Not a damned one. I'd like to be able to learn how to at least shuffle, but I think that's because I want to have something to do with my hands while I'm thinking and, apparently, casinos look down at players masturbating at the table. I figured it was no big deal as long as I cleaned up after myself.

I can do the thumb flip but with my finger instead. And shuffle a little. That's about it. I'm working on doing the finger flip with both hands at the same time. Just for the heck of it.
I suck. I've only played in half dozen or so live tournaments and don't have any chips of my own to practice with. Practicing badly at the tourney table is not good....
so....I aspire to be worthy of the principles taught at the pokerKai school of table domination
1. The guys who do the single chip trick incessantly all night long. The most common one is the guy that shuffle their chips every waking second at the table. Dude, your gonna give yourself carpal tunnel.
2. The guys who do the chip trick while contemplating their actions. They know everybody is waiting on them and rather then just focusing on speeding up their action, they are wasting everybodys time with twirling a chip.
3. The guys who do the chip trick clumsily but look away from their hands so as to look proficient. This bugs me because inevitably they lose control of the chip(s) and one goes splashing off into the pot or off the table.
In conclusion...dont do it all night, dont do it when youve got a decision, dont look away unless you can do it smoothly and without thought.

I guess that's true to a certain degree...but playing with my chips while I'm in a hand has already become second nature to me, so I actually feel weird not doing something while I'm comtemplating my action. Obviously if the guy is watching his chips while he tries a twirel when its a trivial preflop fold, then I can see how that gets annoying really quickly.
Oh..chip tricks. I can make them disappear from my stack into an opponent's stack really quickly..... I've been trying to learn to do the reverse but it's proving to be more difficult.
ALWAYS do chip tricks (badly) when seated at the table with 'Kai.
Haha...indeed.
I used to play poker with a friend of mine who had this insane habit of completely phasing out at the table. Almost every hand...he'd forget it was his action.
Threw me right off my game. He truly was clueless about it (was my housemate so I knew him quite well) but very effective in terms of gaining some advantage at the table.

I do the easiest trick there is.
Make a stack.
Cut stack in half.
Put other half on top.
Repeat.
