Off the top of my head:

2.Swammi gimmicks and Centre Tear from 13 Steps to Mentalism
3.Anything from Modern Coin Magic

From books ehhh?

1. Twin Peeks - Chris Kenner: Totally Out of Control
2. Here, There and Everywhere - Aaron Fisher: The Paper Engine

For tricks that's all I can think of at the moment as they're my favourite to perform.

With regards to sleights:

1. Clap Production - Earnest Earick By Forces Unseen (In context of Claptrap, the second production from the deck)
2. One Handed Palm from Center of Deck - Earnest Earick By Forces Unseen
3. Gravity Half Pass - Aaron Fisher: The Paper Engine

There are many more but these are my favourite at present.

"Clock of Doom" from a book called smoke and mirrors by John bannon.

its a "think of a card" and any hour of the day trick with lots of magic in one routine.

My favourite effects from that popped into my mind first are
Roberto Giobbi's handling of the Triumph (Card College vol. 3)
Juan Tamariz's Divination routine (Mnemonica)
Super Poker, also by Juan Tamariz (Mnemonica)
and Flurry by David Roth (Expert Coin Magic)

Best effects and methods I've learned are from books.
