I have the exercises off of the Trilogy set but I was wondering if anyone could tell me of some more exercises that I could benefit from.
Hand Exercises?

Haha, I have a dirty mind.
Anyway. Check out handhealth.com. There are also some taught on Xtreme Beginnerz (they're actually taught by the person who runs handhealth.com).

Well you could go to your local music store and pick up one of these bad boys.
A gripmaster, if you're looking for strength.

there is also a recently opened forum about this topic, that Greg himself frequents as a subsection on www.superhandz.com you can ask your specific questions there.
one thing, probaby the most important thing, is not to over-practice so that your hand gets tendonitis. it's easy to practice till your hands hurt but it is HARD to stop practicing, sometimes as a beginner you will have to not even touch the cards for several days while your hands recover.

I play guitar, and my finger dexterity has become exceptional because of it. I play metal and that requires many insane off the hizzle riffs. If you have a guitar laying around, pick it up, play some tunes!
If not, I own eXtreme Beginnerz by De'Vo and it teaches many finger and hand exercises.

All I do is keep practicing my flourishes, cuts, passes, and what-not. It's all about setting your muscle memory, and if you use one of these;
it will only strengthen the pulling portion of your fingers. Which is good if your grip on a deck sucks.

It's not something that helps with finger strength of dexterity per se... but if you completely relax your left hand, and then take the thumb with your right fingers and turn it back and forth, and do this with each finger on both hands it helps them to be able to move more freely (I do this before I start practicing the piano, or go to a lesson or recital/competition... I actually started doing it because I saw a guy from the Van Cliburn International Piano Competition doing it on the way to one of his performances there on a documentary about it). Anyway... grip the finger right at the end, so the point is sort of to make your finger turn at BOTH joints. It really loosens them up. Just do it about 5 or 10 minutes before you start practicing
(not sure if that's the sort of advice you were looking for... I find it also helps me in doing some things with flourishes and stuff too though)
