I find that the classic 2CM is always a killer and I choose to keep that in my favorite tricks list.
Others would be Cameo 1+2 (gotta love sandwich routines ), my own Queendom routine (another sandwicher), 5 Speed (simple yet genius), and I'll leave the list to just 5.
I don't own many single effects or dvds (only got 2, saving up though).
My favorites in no particular order;
Biddle Trick, ACR, Color Monte, Revolution No. 9 (still working on), any color changing deck routine, Subway, Sponge Balls, and Strat-O-Sphere.
missing link
factory sealed (but i haven't performed in a couple of weeks)
sinful (but i stopped performing for a reason that limited me from doing the effect)
I feel that the performer is more important than the trick. And it's not even about skill, but how a trick is performed that makes it great and interesting.
Personally, I like ACRs. I love watching ACRs and seeing how a magician puts their own spin on the classic. I really love Brian Tudors the Heckler as it really is just a bad ass ACR.
As far as what I perform myself, I love doing a transpo where the card ends up in their hands.
My favorite trick is learning how to use the search engine. I mean, you get so many results on what you want to know, it's unbelievable! Fools spectators all the time too.

Thank You Le Paul--Syd Segal, Paul Le Paul
Packet Lie Detector--Syd Segal
Just a few of my faves. Yes, I said the word "faves."
I also love "Indecent" by WH. I am an "old timer" and most of my magic is old. I am just learning about all the new stuff out there. Magic has come a long way and I have a lot of catching up to do. Please be patient with my lack of knowledge about all the new stuff.
Yes me too i love doing five speed and i do it in every single performance. I also love the trick gamblers vs. magicians for michael ammar and of course Witness
Stigmata, by a long way. Wayne I can't get over how awesome it is.
Apart from that I love here then there and two card monte. (Yeah I love it simple, I'm perfectly able to do difficult stuff but I get better reactions with the simple stuff.)
i love the collectors plot with a passion. Roy Walton is my homeboy. and i seem to enjoy strange, outthere card routines. unshuffling rebbecca is a fine example or that full deck oil and water by john bannon. Boogey woogey aces is fun too by him. but, all in all, i like sleights more then the in front of the curtain work.
