One of my Favourite packet tricks is Twist till it hurts by Geoff Latta. It's the first card trick I learnt. It's in Apocolypse. I have changed the cards used and handling a bit but it's a great trick and I love it.

Mine is Cascade, its the first packet trick I learned. That was in Davenports when it was by the British museum, I was lucky enough to be taught it by the wonderful Pat Page, good memories.
By failing to prepare, we are preparing to fail.

Whilst there are many fantastic packet effects out for me it has to be Weighted Aces by Gregory Wilson, which is basically Dr Daley's last trick but with two phases the reason being you start clean, you end clean and best and most importantly the magic happens in the spectators hands.

George1953, is the Cascade you mention the same as Roy Walton's Cascade?

ACE, Twisted Sisters, and NFW. This thread is a great resource for more packet tricks to check out. Thanks.

"Dr. Bob's Acrobatic Cards" is another of my favorites. I don't know how well-known it is, though, since few people ever mention it and it's tough to find to buy.

DoubleBack by Jon Allen really smacks people with a Wow.

Lately I've been having fun with Cameron Francis' Troublemakers and Printing the Aces.

My absolute favourite is 'B'raniac' by John Bannon. Never leave the house without it

Bannon's 'Royal Scam'. Hands down, nothing compares.

He's expressing an opinion. I don't believe this is meant as an overall statement to unequivocally denounce every packet trick to be inferior to "Royal Scam". trent_hardcore has probably found that in his experience with performing packet tricks, nothing compares to the reactions, or the enjoyment, he gets in performing this effect.

Frankly, the snobbish replies from those who feel like they are the definitive authorities on all subject matter in the world of magic are usually a sign of a magician who spends more time critiquing others and hardly no time actually performing...just my opinion.

Royal Scam-John Bannon is my personal favourite, I just love everything about the effect.

The "Best" hmmmm not easy. This is a subset of my favorites;

Royal Scam (Bannon)
Too Many Cards Derek Dingle (very nice trick!)
The Power of Poker (Bannon)
Spin Doctor (Bannon)
Ten Cards Poker Deal (Lorayne)
and many many others...Duplicity (Bannon...again), Twisting the Aces (Vernon), Moder Jazz Aces (Ortiz), The Homing Card (Hugard),etc.

And "The four Card Trick" in honor of Alex Elmsley for his famous false count...
