Can anyone do cool tricks with rectangular plaques?

Hey everyone,

I'm a newbie here and I searched this forum for the word plaques to see if anyone has posted any videos of chip trips they have with rectangular plaques and it seems like the only videos I see are finger tricks with oval plaques, or castle building/chip stacking tricks.

I'd love to see if any of you have figured out some tricks with rectangular plaques.

thanks,
Bryan

The only thing I can do is shuffle plaques like chips.

I can't do anything else due to the shape.

I don't remember the tournament, maybe in Monaco or something, but it shows Phil Ivey shuffling his plaques.

I can launch chips off the table catapult style.

LOL, who's the Australian guy that is kind of a loud mouth and folks tend to not like him much? Tony G? I seem to recall him doing some pretty impressive plaque shuffling at one of those WPT Europe events. Maybe it's on You-Tube.

No big deal, if you can shuffle chips proberly it takes you about 15min to learn to shuffle plaques.

I can make them disappear from my stack. It is really easy for me.

Pull!

That's the only use I can see for a plaque.

Aside from shuffling, I think that plaque tricks would look more like card handling than chip tricks. I learned a one-handed cut when I was in high school, and I tried it out on some of the Dragonara 100 plaques. I think it would take practice to get over the slipperiness but I'm sure it's doable. Maybe check out sleight-of-hand type card stuff. I think some of the basic maneuvers would be very appropriate. There are entire websites devoted to that kind of thing.

I might as well ask while we're on the subject of plaques-- any chance for some Dragonara commemoratives? A suitably sized black 25 plaque or jeton would be very cool.
