Those aren't even sleights, they're mostly tricks.

well shapeshifter and duck change isnt a trick but helps ALOT in tricks and pinkey breaks are very important.coin palms are utility sleights. miracle switch is a slight to get a card to the top virtually doing nothing at all.

where do you see anything that is a trick?

yes... shapeshifter IS a trick. i dont' see anyone using the move as a sleight -.-... and duck change is also a trick..

again - buy a book

learn from professional magicians - people who do this for a living

don't rely on your peers on a message board.

i do. if you do it back side up its a good way to switch cards. instead of a top change

You know 4 of 5? You're pretty hard core eh? Do you know variations of the classic pass, hermann, and other subtleties?

Different ways of double lifts? Different get readies?

A lot of the jogs, steals, palms. Have you learned the angles for them? How to cover? Which to use for which opportunity?

How many controls can you do? False shuffles? Blinds? Cuts? False cuts? Tabled and in the hands?

Go get Royal Road... or better yet, Card College. Nobody can teach you what you need to know here in the forums with the exhaustive depth you need. Frankly, if you needed to ask what you needed to learn to get into card magic, you need to learn a LOT.
