Definitely.

Some moves are inherently more difficult than others. I try to work on moves that I think are reasonably achievable for me at my current skill level. That way, my skills are slowly but surely expanding all the time.

This thread has re-opened my eyes to the value of the Cr*mp, because you appear to do nothing at the obvious moment. I believe this makes it an incredibly powerful tool. And it's easy!
When I started getting back into magic a few years ago, I learnt about Breathers, which you need to prepare in advance. Since then I have become aware of techniques that can be done on the fly, which adds a whole new dimension.

To paraphrase the legendary Ken Brooke.....

Punter: "Ken, how do you get a card to the top?"


Ken: "I get them to push the card in, stick my little finger in above it, square ooop......then just cut the bloody thing t'ert top ov pack".

For a single card, it's got to be a classic double undercut, in hands or on the table.
For multiple cards, hard to beat a neil elias multiple shift (which IS easy and very deceptive).
If you don't want to even learn that, put multiple cards together as a block and then just use Vernon's handling for OOS-OOM from the Inner Card Trilogy. Stupid easy.
