Your go-to control?

[Huruey]

Hey guys.

I'm interested to see what people might consider their "go-to control". Assuming a card is meant to be lost in the deck, but you actually need it on top, how would you normally do this?

Cheers,

Joe

Orbit control. I do it all the time. I practiced it so much and now it is the only top control I do. I even have a method of orbiting to the second, third, and fourth positions from the top. What's yours?

 

[zatch]

Clip shift. Done while talking to the person. they see me holding a packet... look at my eyes... look back... looks the same.. it's perfect

 

[gatraya]

my own cut control. It is almost looks like flourish but I don't know any flourishes.

I use the
Top Change as my go to control - Jaryn

More often than not it is a pass.

If they are really burning my hands then a cull.

 

[atinfinity]

I most often use the turnover pass.

 

[James Wise Magic]

A simple reverse pass works for me. I do it 99% of the time unless they are really burning my hands in which case I use the fan contol.

A modified Bluff Pass...

 

[jakubr]

I use classic pass with misdirection help now, but I'm willing to learn side steal. Side steal is great, bacause it's pretty much invisible.

 

[TheatreHead]

I pretty much always default to the Bluff pass.

 

[renome]

Invisible pass is perfect for those situations. If my hands are being burned I can pull out the orbit control and I also somethimes just out-jog the selection and steal it with tenkai.

The "pass" I like to use is le pauls pass

 

[Infected]

Spreadpass, The centerdouble taught in tivo 2.0 and Miller cascade control

 

[JNGmagic]

i use my version of DMB control to control to the bottom. but to the top, probably the pass or orbit control

 

[shadesofmagic]

wherever they keep their card keep a break and cut or shuffle

 

[GreenRich001]

2nd is my own Nano control, 1st Herman pass which is very easy, no risk of dropping cards as I have with classic pass and I think it is invisible from all angles.

I'm starting to use the cull much more often than before.
Depends quite a bit on the trick itself though.

 

[b+w]

More than often a classic pass for the top of the deck, and a cull for the bottom of the deck.
However there are certain tricks I do which necessitate a specific control.

Double undercut with another set of false cuts.
