How to use Chop Sticks..?
2) Use the tips of the thumb, index and middle fingers to hold the other stick like a pen. Make sure the tips of the two sticks line up.
3) Pivot the upper stick up and down towards the stationary lower stick. With this motion one can pick up food of surprising size.
4) With enough practice, the two sticks function like a pair of pincers.

Another description is to tuck one stick under the thumb and hold the other as if it was a pencil. Keep the one below the other in regular position as you move only the top stick up and down.
Tip: For easier handling in the beginning, hold the sticks at the midpoint as a child would do. As proficiency increases, hold the sticks at the upper ends for a farther reach and greater carrying capacity. Make sure you handle both sticks at least 3 1/2 inches away from the tip and 1 3/4 of an inch spaced away from both sticks.
If the tips fail to line up, it will be difficult to hold things. Hold the chopsticks upright with one of the tips lightly touching the table, and gently push the chopsticks down or gently loosen your grip for a moment to let both tips become equal in length. You can also adjust your grip or holding position this way.
With practice, it is possible to perform step one and two simultaneously, on picking up the chopsticks with one hand, with a single fluid and seamless motion. Readjust your grip if necessary.
