I never knew many controls but svengali control is my new favorite one. So easy and so deceptive. I'm not really a big fan of the twins but a few of their releases have been pretty good over at their site.

 

[The Tumbleweed]

Pass & Controlled shuffle

That's it.

I like to keep it simple so I just use a double undercut. That way there's nothing for them to catch onto.

LIES! HERESY!

Sorry I don't like the DU.

*koff* I use a lot of my own controls, such as my fan control, a variant (independently created) of Simon Lovell's Non-panoramic shift, Top Change, short card, and when I am feeling lazy, I do a slip force as a card control.

Recently I have been revisiting the Bedwell control. If you don't know this one, look into it.

 

[SKSleighofHand]

Double Undercut
Death to the Undercut (Joel Paschall)
Vernon's Multiple Shift
Classic Pass
Overhand Shuffle

 

[TheatreHead]

-classic pass
-double/triple undercut
-jog shuffle control
-center steal

 

[Mat La Vore]

Classic Pass
Jog Shuffle Control
Versatile Card Control
LePaul Bluff Pass
Marlo's Tilt
Double Undercut + Overhand Shuffle
Top Change

I also like the old Tom Mullica thing where he just keeps a break when he replaces the other half of the deck back and then just waits a beat and shuffles off the top stock he just replaced. Simple but effective.

Also, copping the card out from the Versatile Card Control and then allowing the spectator to shuffle is also a favorite follow-up control to the VCC.

classic pass, overhand shuffle control (waaaaaay under used in my opinion), swing swivel cut, and double undercut. I use all of those alllll the time. Hope that helps.

I used to know all the fancy controls, (diagonal palm shift, the pass, svengali control, clipshift, cherry control, ect) but now that I've gotten into simple and direct magic, I'll usually use a double undercut, or Lee Asher's Pulp Friction (gotta love that)

 

[Rmana]

- The Pass
- Clip Shift
- Double Undercut
- Cull

Those get me through the day.
