This trick is the same as the one tried by people with coins. The main aim is to roll the chip from the thumb and index finger, along the hand to the pinkie finger.
Start with a chip between the thumb and index finger. Puch the chip up and over the index finger, it then falls between the index and middle finger. The chip should now be held in place by the index and middle fingers.
Now the middle finger is lowered so the chip tilts towards the middle finger. Lower the middle finger and raise the ring finger so that it can catch the chip as it flips over the middle finger. Once the chip hits the ring finger, the ring finger is then lowered and the chip is held by the middle and ring fingers.
