Some good advice above and personally, give all of these a wide berth given your level of experience.

There is a wealth of good learning material out there that you could invest in and which will pay you dividends over time whereas stated by Abraxus, these are one trick ponies that will rarely delight a crowd just on their own.

Each is best used as part of a wider performance alongside other material.

Absolutely agree with the advice above go for stuff that will last and not these one trick ponies. For instance what would you do with electric touch, have you got a strong routine for it because if you haven't it wont be very effective. Stick with books and dvds much more effective in the long run and you get 20 tricks for probally less than a quarter of the price for just one of them you have listed. Most of my packet tricks and expensive one trick wonders are in the back of my drawer waiting to get lost while my books and dvds are used at least once a day.
