Illusions- Not the big gawdy box types

I alluded to the idea of some moves or sleights in magic, rather, sequences lets say, of moves in magic that are so impossible you disregard them. This was with reference to dropping the deck a tiny bit after the top palm. In any case, there are many examples of technique where the 2 or 3 actions produce not only a perfect illusion but the illusion of comfort to the audience. I recall being burned badly by an exemplary executed Tenkai palm. The hands of this performer were so natural and slow as well as fingers spread that I was floored! This doesn't only apply to palming, anyone who has developed a fairly deceptive second deal, strike, push off, or one-handed will certainly be able to attest to this. If you have ever shown someone the top card, dealt down a bunch of cards then revealed the top card to be the same, you know the impact it has on someone. Leaving the card face up and then dealing once more, in which they usually reply they understand when they really have no idea. You turn the card down one more and begin dealing again before revealing the same top card, and surprise! The audience member is baffled but knows what happened, as odd as that sounds. That is an example of a technique being so good, it has the illusion of being what it is meant to simulate while still maintaining it's inherent impossibility as a maneuver in and of itself! False shuffles come to mind as well, a very well executed strip out, Shank or Zarrow shuffle can fool those 'in the know' especially when top cards start changing and following Erdnase's sequence of shuffle, shuffle, cuts, most are left baffled once you start doing a sequence of cuts. Vernon has wonderful work in Inner Card Trilogy on the 2 shuffle Zarrow sequence, aside from superior technique, by undercutting to your left and shuffling under the top card of the bottom packet (left) the top card changes, upon maintaining a break and shuffling once more as mentioned above, one will find the deck is as it was to begin with but it has been cut, all the while you are holding a break at this point, you may simply cut to the break or a sequence of run cuts can right the cards to how they begun, a wonderful sequence to keep people thinking you are playing fair.
On a side note, I don't know who or how much people are getting from these postings. So seeing as comments are available please post your thoughts, part of writing this is not only for my personal documentation but also for me to receive thought from others either for or against my statements and in the hopes that I may grow as a magician, which certainly helps when attempting to document individual thoughts on such seminal work!
