This is a really interesting question. As a long-term newbie (I realize that sounds like a contradiction in terms, but what it really means is just that my interest is of ancient vintage while my opportunity to pursue progress has been greatly slowed due to Life Getting In The Way), it makes me pause to reflect that while I have dozens of purchased effects, dozens of books, and dozens of DVDs & downloads, if pressed at this very moment I could without warning at best do a mini-set (which lately I’ve been practicing precisely as such) solely of the following:
Hot Rod B’Wave Hopping Halves Color Monte Lethal Tender Sure, I “know” more tricks than these. But am I ready to perform them on demand, at a moment’s notice? Nope. I’d need to seriously brush up on them, at the very least. Because how soon we forget. Like forgetting lines from a play we were once in, I suppose, if we don't revisit it frequently. I get rusty and forgetful awfully fast, when out of practice. Maybe that’s why I’m just an amateur, but I reckon that’s just how it goes when other things take precedence.
For a supernatural chiller mixing magic (prestidigitation, legerdemain) with Magic (occultism, mysticism), check out my novel MAGIC: AN OCCULT THRILLER at http://www.amazon.com/Magic-Occult-Thriller-Reed-Hall/dp/1453874836

I can related, Karnak. Life, not just working, has seriously truncated my practice time to a couple of hours per week.

I note down all the methods to all the tricks I know in Google Sheets. Before performing, I just access the file from my phone. But I keep all the tricks well practiced so that I can perform them smoothly and perfectly.
