What card manoeuvres do you use ?

This could be flourishes or fancy shuffles. I just wanted to get an idea of the sort of "card work" most people use these days. I use the overhand shuffle with injog controlling top card for many, many tricks. I also use the swivel cut to "show off" with the cards on occasion to give an air of magic. Also, the riffle shuffle in mid air (not using the table).
The above are what I use 90% of the time.

When I like to show-off, but make a joke at the same time, I do what I call the "Anti-gravity shuffle". Basically I do a table shuffle but I hold the deck even with my chest but the deck is flipped over when I shuffle and bridge the cards. So the cards are shuffling "up" into the air instead of down onto the table.

Most of the time I will do the W.E.R.M or the cobra cut, WTHHTS, Mary Jane and revolution cut.

I guess I mostly do sybils, and some one handed cuts in both hands if Im showing off, but in performance about the flashiest thing I do is a blind swivel cut.
