Try hand to mouth .. thats always a hit.
69 is also nice and subway is easy with practise.
there are many tricks which are easy.. but all you need is practise.

i thought they would be way too hard for me but after some practice i got them all down
because of this hard work my magic has elevated to a whole new level.
it totally worth the time

One hour ago, you said everything is too hard... 30 minutes later, you have everything down or almost down.
Don't be a youtuber and practice these effects, don't butcher them like some people have.

yeah i get hard effects and flourishes all the time that take me forever to master. If you dont put in the time your not going to get a lot of the newer flourishes and tricks.
Oh and one more thing . . . anyone else find it hard to understand when dan and dave do the whole "no talk" tutorials.

subway is defiantly good and quite easy, so is hand to mouth especially if you are using the centre double from tivo 2.0 rather than the floop.
I always thought that the trilogy tricks would be very hard, but it seems that some people say that some of them are easy, as long as you practise.
So maybe just try the tricks mentioned in this thread, see how you're doing after a few weeks?
I think I might just buy a one on one, probably subway, and see how I do with some good practise. Good idea?

Here's some resources for you regarding beginner and intermediate material that is not only well taught, but also more than good enough to perform professionally - I know, because I do.
Greg Wilson's "Double Take" (Card Stunts and Pyrotechnic Pasteboards are more challenging but not too bad either)
John Guastaferro's "Brainstorm" DVDs - really, really good card magic.
Royal Road and Card College are excellent books teaching sleights and tricks.
As far the the trilogy goes, I've never worked through it, the material just doesn't appeal that much to me - lots of flash btu not much substance in many cases.
Cheers,
David.

Shake Change/Erdnase (figure out how to get the cards in the right position... cough**KM Move**cough)/Flippant Move
You can do basically any color change you want, as long as you can manage to get the cards in the right positions.

at first when i watched the tutorials it was really hard coz im not familiar with the slieghts thats been use but after awhile learning the move its really not that hard as i thought it was at first... just practice....

You don't want to buy them? Why? Please don't let me answer that for you. It seems like you just want to learn 'tricks' and not magic.
Don't get caught up with the flourishy flashiness of the trilogy effects because they are definitely not basic card effects for the beginner. It takes lots of practice to achieve that level of graceful card handling. If you are truly serious about this art please heed Shodan's advice.
