I can't answer Question 1.

Question 2 regarding which chips are easiest to shuffle -- used casino clays seem easiest to me to shuffle because their edges are nicely rounded. I had a hard time learning to shuffle, but once I tried those used clays, I got it!

As for Question 3 about the wooden cases, I have a chip case very similar to the ones pictured in the bottom row (with the handle on the front) and posted a mini-review of my case on this thread which also asked about these cases: http://chiptalk.net/forum/showthread.php?t=14618

Hope this helps!

I like my NJ ceramics for shuffling. It's a little more difficult when they are brand new, but they stick together fairly well and seem to be a easier when you're first trying it. Broken in, I can shuffle more of them together more easily than my other chips.

My first attempts were with dice chips. Boy, was that hard at the time.

ASM/pokerchips.com has some cases like this that cost upwards of $500 or more!

As for your Question #2 ...
if you know how to shuffle chips, any chip should be easy to shuffle. I will say though that I've noticed that Chipcos seem to be very well centered when compared to other chips ... what I mean is, if you riffle a stack of Chipcos and then NOT push them together to form 1 stack (just leave them all in mid shuffle where all the chips are half mixed into each other) and then apply some pressure to the top chip with your finger, they don't wobble or fall ... doing this with a clay chip for example, will cause the "half shuffled stack" to wobble and fall over ... if I only had pictures to show exactly what I mean.

I can shuffle just about any chips...I think the surface material your shuffling on makes a big difference as well...

But, the best chips for me, are used paulsons...I can do 20, but that's only because I have small hands...

After you master your shuffle and decide to expand your chip flourish repetoire you may decide to try stuff like I have: catapillar, front-to-back, knuckle roll, finger roll, twirl, twirl & flick, etc..

If you do, I've found my Paulson Classics to be ideal. You can actually pull some of these off with NJs Skulls and even NexGens if you try, but nothing compares to the grip your fingers get on Paulson clay. I've also found ASMs to be good as well.

I have 600 dice chips which I use occasionally, however, I found that, once they are broken in, they are much easier to shuffle. About 5 Min per stack of 20 worth of shuffling, and they shuffle much more nicely.

Do dice chips ACTUALLY break in????????
Don't they feel the same when you first get 'em to when you've had 'em for 5 years? ... or do their edges become smoother and rounder?
