Similar to the chip twirl, the “roll and rest” trick is done with three chips, but has an additional part that is a little more complex.
How To Do It
Start off with the three chips held loosely between your index and ring finger. Support the chips with your middle finger from behind.
Using your thumb, loosen the two outer chips. Supporting the center chip firmly between your ring and index fingers, swing the outer chips up while dropping your ring finger at the same time, allowing the lone chip to slide down.
This movement will create a separation between the three poker chips. With practice, you’ll eventually be able to lift the two chips up and away without having to loosen them first. While supporting the lone chip between your index and ring fingers, place your middle finger on the side of the chip. Now pull back on the chip, letting it spin towards your palm.
Once you get to the point that the chip is being spun around you stop halfway with your middle finger inside the poker chip. Now you just lift up your middle finger to move the chip up onto the platform of your index finger and the outer chips. At this point just bend your index finger to tip the poker chip back in between the other two.
