A Big Slinky: 4 Chips Stepping Down 5 Stacks

In order to do a Big Slinky* poker chip trick, you need to understand a couple of concepts I haven’t elaborated on before.
The first is the use of a Sitter stack, which is a shorter chip stack sitting next to the Base stack. The Catchers are put down on top of the Sitters after catching the Jumpers.
The other concept is a variation I call a Switcher. This is when you switch the Jumpers and Catchers after each jump onto a Sitter stack. On each jump you put the Catchers down overhanging the Sitters.
- The Sitters then become the new Base.
- The Catchers become the new Jumpers.
- The Jumpers become the new Catchers.
And then do it again, etc. It’s easy to do since the stacking can be very loose.
In the video, I start with 3 stacks of 20 chips, plus the 4 chips I’m going to Slinky with. I split out the stacks so there are stacks of 20(K), 16(G), 12(C), 8 and 4 chips. Then I start at the top, and Slinky on down.

I really need to learn some poker chip tricks, what’s your favorite one for a beginner to try? (looks like there’s plenty to keep me going on your beginners page).

My favorites are 2-chip high climbers, the Minimals and Slinkys.

What kind of chip tricks can you do with your fingers? I just learned the one handed chip flip from front to back of three or more chips in your hand. Sorry no idea what it’s called.

Sorry, I don’t do any tricks with my fingers. I find them too hard to do with my slightly arthritic fingers.
