In your oppinion whats the most angle proof slight you do?

For me it has to be the erdnase/houdini colour change

PS not just cards

For me, it would be the elmsley count

I like the James-Ellis Load-On (angle-proof unless someone is lying on the floor beneath me) or the Turnover Drop (they both have the same end result), it's almost like there's nothing to be seen.

has to be criss angel lev. lol

Quite a lot of sleights are angleproof unless you have someone lying on the floor below you or else you're really really tall and you're performing to 3-year-olds. For starters, spread cull, most false counts, DLs...

The most angle proof sleight I can think of is a DL.

However, it's a good idea to learn any sleight's weak spots, and control your audience to a specific field of vision.

For instance—some sleights are best performed sat down, some work better when you're sat in a corner, some work with a table...

A lot of VERY angle specific stuff can also be covered by getting CLOSER to the spectator, odd as it sounds... when a spectator is looking DOWN at your hands, it can sometimes be a great vantage point (a classic pass, for example, looks very clean from above).

Dl lifts a quite angle proof but if you hold a break before excuting one they're not. Mind you, some close up magicians i saw at the magic circle just held it quite openly (though if surrounded there isn't much to do and i was looking for it i suppose)
