Personally for me:

Classic Pass
LePaul Spread Pass
Turnover Pass
Double Undercut
Double Lift
Stuart Gordon Double Lift
Erdnase Colour Change

Etc.

And the list goes on...

The sleights you need to perform the effect you want to perform. Sleights in and of themselves have no value.

I made my entire working card repertoire this year off of 5 types of card sleights.

Tilt, double lift (or some variation), a pop out, a few addons, and the twirl change.

No one cares what moves you use.. the audience doesn't care about how they feel when they leave the show.

So my secret weapon is entertainment.. not sleights. Magic is the vehicle, not the destination.
