I'm looking to add one more trick to part of a routine I'm working on, but as I page through RRTCM, i cant remember what tricks were good or not... what tricks do you guys use in your routines?

I'm afraid we'll need to know what tricks you know currently so that we have an idea of what type of trick you're looking for.

why dont you stop flicking, start reading and find one that you like mate? it should take long..

or think of a sleight you prefer, and jump to that section and pick a trick thats sick

Poker Player's Picnic with a block of kings turned in a stripper deck. Shuffle the deck, bring them to the top then do the routine - from a shuffled deck. You could use the false overhand shuffle to do the same thing, or hold a break on a Charlier shuffle to cut them back to the top.

This is a great idea! I'm buying your stripper deck book in a few weeks- really looking forward to it!

design for laughter is a great one.

Have to agree with Lord Freddie, Designed For Laughter is a really good one, I also like Do As I Do, except you can use an imaginary deck instead if you don't have a second deck handy.

agreed on design for laughter, if you can cmfortably pull off the glide it's a fantastic trick and can really make you look much better than you really are, especially if you are a beginner like me

another nod towards design for laughter from me.
If you dont know it yet, you should.
One of the first I learnt from rrtcm and I still perform it regularly.

If your pa****g is good then Three Cards Across in the Platform Tricks
section is an old classic which always gets a great response.
I also like using the Tantilser. There is a Roy Walton effect on the R.Paul Wilson DVD called Pass At Red, which is not in the book, and is also an excellent effect with perfect misdirection moments for the execuction of the pass.

Three Cards Across is a lovely trick, another one I use alot is everywhere or nowhere (or something along those lines)

now you see it.....again with the glide an absoloute top hole wee trick....and ive done it thousands of times and never been sprung at the more risky bit..........also imho if you use an overhand shuffle force and then let the spectator shuffle and truly bury the card in the deck before you start it adds a wee bit more to the effect again..... ......and also id agree with lord freddie design for laughter is cracker too
