Give us the sleight you use the most and list the different ways you use it. There are no wrong answers and this is not a competition to see what move is most useful.

i use erdnase change (1st method) lots. the effects i perform, in the style i have, demand some very smooth handling, and i try to construct each effect, or routine with with alot of consideration for whether the moves work to achieve the best, most direct effect. i get alot of mileage from this move.

the one handed top palm, i use alot in an unconventional way.

paintbrush change. done correctly, this can get better reactions than a shapeshifter change.

The way you opened this thread made me laugh. I thought about a thread of similar nature in the past that started a HUGE debate between a couple wizards. Anyway, I find that I use some variation of a double lift in many of my effects. I have used a double as: a color change, a switch, and a force.

Pablo,

  What is even more amusing is that Gone is actual one of those same wizards under his new identity. If you look at the post date you will notice a big gap of time before anyone replied.

I'm pretty sure that was not coincidence. ;)

aahhhh.............I now see forest...........and understand the symbolism in the name;). Kinda funny how some still hold on to things rather than let them be.

I like the Top Change. If done correctly it can be extremely strong.

Top change is good...do it right under their noses and they never see a thing, kinda like a good ole Mexican turnover......

"I can't seem to find your card...what was it? Oh it's right here on the table all along".......yea I know...it's cheezy but it works.

I mostly use my ''Messing with the Signs'' color change, and I use the goshmans pinch and french drop in my coin magic. And my favorite force is a slip-cut force.

Double lift is the most useful for me, there are a lot of effect that I can perform by using these sleight. Pass, switch, force, palm, I will use it when I have more confident.
