I've gotten lazy.
Although I have a lot of fun playing with the Miller Cascade Control and other fun moves, I never do any of them in performance.
I always choose one of two methods: If i want the audience to see the cards get mixed, I use the Blackstone shift that I learned from Tom Mullica's book. However, if I want the audience to believe the card is right where they put it with no opportunity for a clever move, I use a classic pass and set the deck down.
I do think it's important that we choose a control that leaves the audience with right state of mind for the effect to follow. If you do a cut or a shuffle and the card appears on top, it's not as impossible as if they'd seen the card go in the middle and, with no other moves, it ends up on top. On the other hand, if the put the card in the middle and you don't bother to mix things up but simply look through and find the card, that's not impossible since you saw where the card went.
I know those aren't the best examples but you should understand what I mean. I get annoyed when someone uses a control that leaves the audience feeling like the effect isn't really impossible and, consequently, isn't really magic.
