Theres alot of hard hitting tricks on The Trilogy, by Dan and Dave
@Quickshot, could you name a few of the hard-hitting tricks please?
@MagicOfAdam::
Believe is a great trick, perfect for restaurant work if you do it. It's not too hard either, you should have no trouble with it if you have been into magic for 2 years. Plus, it's 10 dollars cheaper than Symphony. If you are mostly into cards, then my recommendation would be BeLieve, and then buy a few 1on1s such as Five Speed, Ishkabibble Sandwhich, or one of Kenner's Triumph's.
Symphony is a good choice too, because it has many different impromptu effects, and a few that are almost exclusively for restaurants (because they use straws, credit cards...etc.)
The main question here is, are you looking for MOSTLY CARD EFFECTS or a VARIETY OF IMPROMPTU EFFECTS?
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
All the best,

Edit: Re-reading your post, if you are really looking for some strong close-up magic BESIDES just these 2 DVDS, I would recommend a few books like
Guy Hollingworth's Drawing Room Deceptions, or
Pit Hartling's Card Fictions.
Edit 2: Another good DVD for the value would be
Wayne Houchin's ART OF MAGIC. It has 5 great effects that are all very powerful.
