Dude, check your grammer man..
Anyways, one thing I would recommend is 5 Speed. Since its a 1on1 its cheaper than the tricks you mentioned, and it gets great reaction, and is also easy to do. I also have distortion, and thats great too. The gimmick will last you a long time as long as your careful with it. So yeah, hope it helped.
By the way I have a 360 too, they're amazing :D

TnR is probably the most impractical torn and restored card ever, and distortion and D.D are good but if you are looking for the cleaner of the two D.D is cleaner gimmickwise.

instead of getting one $20-30 trick, get the Trilogy Tricks DVD for $30, unless you already have it.

Yeah filth is right. All the trilogy tricks are short, amazing, and impromptu. I would definitely recommend this. But they are hard so watch out.

My opinion?
Stop - Don't purchase anything.
You've got Dangerous and Believe on their way and you already own The Trilogy and Panic. I'm sure you have a few other items in your posession.
All I'm saying is the stuff you've got on your list is MORE than enough to create a kick-arse routine.
Magic (in terms of effects) isn't about having the latest and greatest, it's about BEING the latest and greatest - Your audience doesn't care how much magic you show them, they care about THE magic you show them. I could have all the magic products in the world but I wouldn't know how to use any of them. Armed with nought but a double lift and a double-backer, I've got a miracle in my mind.

Exempli Gratia
I was in school in one of my frees after a day of lessons and I had my Banachek PK Sharpie on me. I was just fooling around with it and a small group of people saw it peripherally and asked me what I was doing. I explained how I'd "Been looking into the Uri Geller world [etc. etc]." and I offered to demonstrate with the sharpie.
After about 3 times to prove I wasn't blowing on it, I said I'd try something I'd never done before, turned around and took 5 paces away from the pen. Made my concentrating action and the pen fell inexplicably. They all screamed and asked me to do it again. I said, just once more and coughed deliberately to build suspense. I did it once more and coughed loudly, one person asked me to do it again and because of the way I'd built this up, one other actually said "No don't, look it's hurting him man." I put my pen away and sat back down with a drink.
Successful performance by my standards and for me personally. Overall it was a 10-15 minute performance.

Do you see how even though I only did one thing, it was a successful performance in it's own right? Sure having material is good, but you have to settle-down sometimes, stop and just look at what you have and create fantastic magic with it. :)
Just my $0.02 even though I'm from the UK so technically 1p. :p

Yeah they are. I agree with Sean, have you ever thought about adding your own patter, building suspence. One of the differences between a kid who knows tricks and a magician is that a magician can build suspence, and make magic more than a way to fool and impress people. Don't just try and learn a ton of tricks, fool people, buy a new trick. Try to perfect your tricks.

There's this one thing, it's even free... it's called a spell checker. Man, you really need to at least read back through your post and fix your mistakes. here's how it should look:
I'm getting Dangerous, a brick of Guardians, and Believe, but I'm looking for one more trick that is quick, but will also get great reactions. I have Panic and that is probably my favorite effect. But I want something to do quick. I'm trying to either get Digital Dissolve (little sceptical about the gimmick), or TnR and Distortion(Sceptical about the gimmick and how long it will last.)... any thoughts on that?
P.S. This is stuff im getting for my B-Day. I'm also gettin an Xbox 360, so I'm happy! Just puttin' that out there... LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK!
See how much better that looks? And trust me, if you type like you have an IQ above freezing and are above the 3rd grade, people will take you much more seriously.
Anyways, on to your question. Get a book! On average, they're about the cost of a DVD, and on average, have about twice as much material. If you want real bang for your buck, books are the way to go! Here are some books I enjoyed:
-Royal Road to Card Magic
-Session by Joshua Jay
-Dominatricks by Tyler Wilson
Check out some books, you'll be surprised what awesome stuff you can learn from them.

Don't perform Witness without buying it, please, It's very disrespectful towards Lee. And you're very welcome for showing you up. :D

If you've never bought it, then how do you know for a fact? I'm very interested in your ethics...
