Don't buy some casino chips, don't learn any shuffles/tricks at home, have a beer, relax. Chip tricks don't win pots and contrary to what Dutch Boyd would have you believe, it is *NOT* intimidating at the poker table.

I'm pretty sure he just said to do this so that OP would get comfortable handling chips. I think it's a good idea. Obviously, chip tricks don't win pots, but handling chips is part of the B&M experience, so a little practice at home wouldn't hurt.
