1.Doublelift
2.Classic Pass
These two moves are barely what you need to make a good solid ACR routine. Anyways moving on.
3.Pinky Count
A move that I'm currently practicing on, and I find it very very versatile.

My five would be
1. Classic Pass that would take care of controls, DL, color changes, seconds, false cuts, force and other sleights needed im sure.
2. Palm
3. False Shuffle
4. and 5. Card Reverse and Optical Revolve. I love my triumph. lol

Im changing my list. I dont use a false shuffle except for like 2 tricks so Im replacing that with a DL. I can't go without a Red Hot mama.
If I was really pressed to list only five card sleights, I would go with
1) overhand shuffle control
2) double lift
3) A good force (the classic force is great)
4) A top palm
5) A good pass (The classic pass is good if you can do it indetectably, but other varieties can be good substitutes in some situations).

this would prolly be my five.....

-DL
-Pass
-False shuffles
-False dealing
-Palm

I think the cull should be on everyone's list.
You can use it as a control, an out, a force, to invisibly set up the deck for effects, or to even use your own shuffled deck in use as a card index. It's easily one of the most versatile moves in card magic.

DL (My version of the instantaneous (spelling?))
Palm (Classic)
Control (Orbit/Faro, can't decide. I'd take classic pass instead if I could do it well enough.)
Force (Classic if I could do it, so far the hindu shuffle/Hofzinser spread cull depending on the situation.)
Gravity half pass
I'd add culling if I could do it, but so far I've not been able to try learning it for more than 10 minutes before entering a "MY BRAIN HURTS"-ish state a'la Monty Python.
