So what do you think are the top 5 gimmicks that a close up woorker needs, or should not be without

stuff like TT or shells

lets leave the cards out, one cause there are to many difrent kind of gimmicked cards, and two cause there are a million card effects you can do with no gimmicks what so ever.

True. That's the only thing. No debates, the TT is the best.

TT
shell
IT
flashpaper

Okito Coin Box - you can use it for all kinds of small objects, not just coins.
TT, or dye tube - vanishes, transformations, colour changes, penetrations.
Pull - larger objects, ends cleaner than a TT or dye tube.
ITR - animations and levitations.
Hanks - vanishes, penetrations, knots, misdirection etc.
