Obviously learning new moves and new methods increase the possibilities in your magic, but do they limit you psychologically? When I first started in magic I learned several controls. I also got a marked deck. The deck obviously allowed me to acheive what several moves did. But i started depending on the deck way to much i became out of practice with the sleights. Then my only way of advancement was buying a new trick deck. The spectators don't know the method so the how isn't important but rather the end result. Knowing the moves allows in my opinion for more creative thought but in performance it doesn't matter.
So what is better great sleights or simple?
