Top Ten card tricks to master

Instead of specific tricks, I would recommend working on the mastery of certain sleights, since once mastered, they enable you to perform many other tricks (once you include the presentation etc.). Certain sleights I would recommend working hard on are:
Top Change
False Shuffle
Controls
Pass
Top Palm
Bottom Palm
Spread Cull
Basically, work through Card College, Expert At the Card Table, Expert Card Technique, and Royal Road, and all the tools will be in your arsenal.
Hope this helps.

i would say my top ten (in no specific order) are:
1. biddle trick (or any triumph routine for that fact)
2. any variations on collectors
3. the two card monte
4. i particularly like hedburgs peak by the bucks (good impromptu effect)
5. jumping gemini or crazy cards
6. ambitious card routine
7. any transposition of two cards. ive recently been into the tivo transpos but ive previously been using the ultimate transpo
8. quick as lightning (for those show me a quick trick situations)
9. color changes (ive found that performing a bunch of color changes in sequence gets a really reaction)
10. any kind of card to pocket, mouth, shoe, etc

Firstly, unless your a card magician, I don't think you should present ten card tricks everytime you perform. Unless you have a very dynamic personality, or again, you are a card magician, your set should be a little more varied than that.
Secondly, this is a question that can't be answered. What makes magic so good is that it is an individual endeavour, and everybody has individual tastes. If we all did the same card tricks, none of us would be individual and magic would become complete tripe.
Classics can include - The Ambitious Card, Triumph and Card on Ceiling, but none of these are must haves for a performer. No effect is a must-have for a magician, and anyone who thinks that is a stick in mud.

I cannot give you 10 tricks, but, in fact, I often do :
- card change in the spectator's hand
- Card face up in the deck
- A routine with a pen and a coin (I don't remember the name)
- A routine with a ring, seen in Gaston Quieto DVD (ring flyies from a hand to another)
- WOW from Masuda!!!
- ....Impromptue routine!
- card change in the spectator's hand
- Card face up in the deck
- A routine with a pen and a coin (I don't remember the name)

- ....Impromptue routine!
I think it would be more interesting to ask WHY as well.
For instance, one could say that it is important for a magician to learn the 2 card Monte (for example) because it teaches them audience control.
I'd be interested why people think these are important.

This will be different for everyone as there's soooo many effects/routines involving cards
Only you can decide whats best for you and how you want to present the effects
Cody Fisher gave some good advice
Basically every effect can be made into a powerful experience... but i'll name a couple of different effects, not actual products but style of effect
Remember that it's always good to infuse your own personality within the effects you perform and to make each effect your own
List-
ACR
Triumph
Sandwhich
Colour changing deck
Transpositions
Oil and water
card to ?
T&R
Card through window
Mentalism
Poker demonstration
etc etc etc
My actual favourite card routine at this time is MindPlay by Christopher Williams

It really depends on your style of performance. The best magicians/sleight-of-hand artists are those who's personality supersedes the actual tricks that they do. No one can give a list of effects that all card workers MUST be able to perform. However, there are some classic plots and effects that it's worth considering to see if you can fit them into your own persona, like Oil and Water, Out of this World, Collectors, Ambitious Card etc. The important thing to consider is what your presentation of any effect says about you as a performer.
However, if it's any use to you, here are some effects that I perform regularly:
1. Flourish production of selection (Top Shot/Hot Shot//long-distance spinner behind back & catch in mouth if I'm feeling adventurous)
2. Colour changes (the exact moves I use depend on situation/angles)
3. Single selection control routine (ambitious card/card to various locations)
4. Three Card Monte
5. Gambling demonstration
6. Riffle force (presented as psychology/reading tells)
7. Card at any number using bottom deal (presented as a psychological force of a number)
8. Derren Brown's Impromptu Haunted Deck from the Devil's Picturebook (always as a closer)

In my opinion, THE trick you should learn, practice, perform, be ocmfortable with and make your own is an Ambitious Card Routine. Create one that fits YOUR presonality and performing style and practice it until you could do it with your eyes closed and in any situation. I promise, the hard work you put into it WILL pay off.
Another good trick to have in your arsenal is a good impromptu trick/routine with one coin. Think of the possibilities! You could perform it wherever someone has a coin. Again, this is something all good magicians should have. Following along these lines, a good, short (3 or so tricks) FASDIU (from a shuffled deck in use) routine will prove invaluable for the times when someone hands you a deck and says "show me something".
Hope that helped.

i agree to first reply in the thread.
It is not a particular trick any magician should know. It is the slight itself.
Becuz if you know many slights and if you are able to do them casual and smooth and convincing...you are able to do all the tricks people posted in here.
I think one of the basics a magician, who takes his hobby serious should know about is doing flourishy and natural double lifts.
