I also am not familiar with the "moment of Zen" triumph. Who is it by, in which book/DVD, etc...?
My personal favorite Triumph is Daryl's "Puertorican Triumph".

I adore Jay Sankey's one (in secret files) Where you get to show FOR REAL the cards shuffled face up and down.
And with that, it's easy to perform
I don't think it's the best, but I sure love it

Kostya Kimlat's version of Triumph is the best I've ever seen. I don't remember what the notes are called where he teaches it to be honest, so this post may well be useless to you, but it's worth searching out. If you haven't seen it, the spectator gets to turn cards face up and face down and shuffle them as much as they like, but you still end up with the whole deck facing one way except for the selection. As a magician, expecting some fancy false shuffle, I admit I was fooled when I first saw it.
If I am not wrong, Moment of Zen is simply Lee Asher's Not Impressive or Continental Divide. It comes by many names.
Yeah, that Triumph made me scream. And I rarely scream at a card trick.
Trumped Triumph is a nice plot, but I don't like the handling - a little too dirty for my likings.
- harapan. magic!

It's great to hear that you have your own defined opinion on what you believe is the "best" Triumph out there -- but it is rather biased to say without stating the reasons why. So, what makes this different to all the other Triumphs around? Is there something unique that others are missing, or is it that the handling looks "clean" and/or is very simple to accomplish?
Give us your reasons why, it will make your views appreciated.

If you are referring to the triumph I think you are talking about, it is an unpublished idea by Tony Chang of NYC. Although it is a great version of Triumph, or at least based off Triumph, I don't see your motivation in starting a thread about this, being that it is unpublished and you said absolutely nothing else about it other than it is the best version of the plot, something I think even Tony would disagree with you on. Tony Chang is a member on here, under the username of Liquidsn I'm pretty sure, and any questions should be directed to him. However, I think that unless he comes and comments about it or says otherwise, discussions of its method and the effect should be stopped.

Josh's Trumped Triumph is not based off Bannon's "Last Man Standing", but instead off of his "Play It Straight Triumph", from Impossibilia It can be found in his lecture notes and on his Close Up Up Close DVD set, both of which are excellent.

Its basically the same effect... but I guess the method is different. Don't really see how thats not a Triumph effect.

I don't know where the bonus move to the Dai Vernon's effect is taken from, but I really enjoyed the Triumph ... Mr. Mystico Way (look on his video on youtube). I just loved the way he presented that classic!

if moment of zen is conti divide or not impressive, than yeah they are both sick. conti divide is a lefties trick tho. to me i dnot really consider those triumphs, they are more of an "out of this world" plot or an "oil and water" type effect. but they are both still super sick.
Moment of Zen is a good one. I also like (don't flame me here) the presentation and method of the Triumph taught by Brad Christian Ninja 2 - it's the one I perform, and it kills.
