Card controls

The Fan Control is actually one of my favorite controls. It's simple, deceptive, all that jazz... what more could you want? But I still use things like a Double Lift, Pass ,Tilt, etc. But one of the best controls, and similar to Fan Control in the fact that the spectator can shuffle the deck as much as they want, is just Top Palming their card off the deck and having them shuffled them up. Then take it back and add it to the top. But I've never actually used this in a performance- I'm not that comfortable with palming yet.
To force a card upon a spectator, I use the Classic Force. Almost never fails.
To control a card to the top:
- Pendulum Cut
- Barrel Pass (original flourishy-ish pass)
- Classic Pass/Classic Dribble Pass
- Dribble Pass (handling by Luke Jermay; angly at times)
- Swingset Control (table or in-the-hands variation; Terry LaGerould)
To control a card to the bottom:
- Spread Cull
- Classic Pass/Classic Dribble Pass
- Dribble Slip [to Bottom] (I found out about this on my own; however, someone may have created it/published it before me, so I don't know who to credit.)
If you want to keep a card on the top/bottom, your best bet is to use a false cut/shuffle or simply palm it off.

Lee Asher's Losing Control is my bread and butter when it comes to card magic.
Otherwise, it is most often a jog control, or, in some cases, a hermann pass.

I just cut the deck or Turnoverpass. When I do the Turnoverpass I tell them to watch all I will do is turn the deck over.

For controling a card to the top there's many techniques (also for controling to the bottom ^^) and it's will be too long to names them in 30 sec.....Anyways.
