I think that would be a great idea. There are a number of old basics that could be an encouragement to 'magicians'. I am working with a young man who has problems with double lifts and pinkie breaks. I am encouraging him with tricks that do not require such as he is learning them.

John Scarne has a book full of card tricks that require little or no sleights.

There are a few cups and ball routines that can be done with no sleights.

Svengali deck routines can be explained. So many people abuse the Svengali decks.
