Carry chips with you?

I've got 3-4 sample sets at the office and depending on how loud I want to be, I'll shuffle them. Chipco's and Paulsons are actually the least bothersome, while people seem to be able to hear the BC's across the office.

I also keep 3 paulsons in the car to play around with while driving.

Always. I carry three super diamonds with me to work so I have something to do during the downtime (I work nights). I just practice the back-to-front, thumb flip, finger flip, and the twirl.

After showing this thread to my girlfriend she doesn't think I am quite so crazy, but she thinks some of you guys should seek professional help!

I have 20 sample chips in my office at work, shhh don't tell my girlfriend. I use those shuffle and have a specifc 3 that I use for doing other tricks. They are kind of beat up from getting dropped so much so I just keep using those. Those are the only ones she ever sees me with so she thinks that is all I have at work...

I never go anywhere without poker chips. I 've always got a
least 6 paulsons in my pocket. I twirl them and shuffle them all day long. I love the way they feel and I love the sound they make. They're like my security blanket. Some people suck their thumb; I handle poker chips all day long. I love this site where else could I find so many who understand.

One hand works the mouse/keyboard and the other works 4 Paulsons through my 8-flourish repetoire.

It's gotten so bad that I won't wanna wash my hands because it'll ruin my 'clay fingers'. Those of you that manipulate Paulsons as your flourish chip of choice will know what I'm talking about; nothing worse than freshly washed hands without any moisturizer on em.

I'm working some of my NJ skulls now, and much to my suprise you actually eventually work up a 'clay fingers-like' grip with them, even though they are ceramics.

Here's the best tutorial page I've found.
My repetoire at this point consists of:
