I just recently purchased Sleight of Hand By Edwin Sachs, and Expert Card Technique by Jean Hugard and Frederick Braue and I was wondering what tricks inside of these books stood out as being amazing or stunning. Or just sleights you reccomend learning to help my magic.

I think that both of those books are gold mines.

Read them through carefully, and practice all of the moves and techniques - it is difficult to recommend certain moves or tricks, as I don't know what type of card tricks you like.

Try everything, and I think you'll find that most things in those books are highly usable and practical.

I have total confidence in Expert Card Technique, but with sleight of hand... I know that it must have at least fifty tricks that would any magicians reputation, but the book has very few illustrations and seperation bewtween tricks, (unlike bobo's which right before a trick it has the name of the trick in bold letters). So I cant look through for something I would be interested in. I just want to know what tricks work for others to see which can be used in a real world environment.

Awww, I can only wish to own Sleight of Hand one day. I have ECT though. I think you should read, learn, and understand the chapters on the pass, ambitious card, and the witchcraft card rise effect

One move I adore is the KM move. I rarely see that move and it seems really under-rated. I just love how you can take a doubled card and end completely clean. So if you ever do a color change that leaves you dirty and they ask to see the card you can just hand it out to them. I even created an effect with it where you have the spectator select a card and the card they pick changes colors in a really clean way.

I use and love the KM move, I actually learned from Richard Sanders.... Who abuses it and makes it seem like THE move to do. So I personally love that move. What page is it on?

Um...I don't know where it comes from. I learned it when I just started magic from a friend I think. Sorry.

Expert Card Technique...this book is based on conjuring at the card table like The Expert at Card Table. I am not sure if that's what you are looking for if you are interested in gambling. If not, then I strongly suggest you to read on palming moves. They got some good ones in there. I am yet still reading and enjoying every page.
