Back to front chip trick might look easy, but it’s actually pretty darn difficult to learn (at least it was for me). The best thing you can do is to learn the thumb flip first and then move on to this one, becouse it requires a lot of the same skills.

Step 2.

Now place your pinky at the bottom of the chip closest to your palm and use your thumb to roll it away from the other chips. At this point you should be holding that single chip with your thumb and pinky, and the other chips with your ring, index and middle fingers.

Step 3.
