Hey guys, I was wondering if anybody knows any tricks using just 1 card. The only one I can think of is Ultimate rip-off from Paul Harris. Any others??

Bending card (a sort of PK effect where the card is placed on the performer's hand and it warps). I am not thinking of the Guy Bavli one (his routine involves a selected card, I think, but I suppose you could just show a weird bending card).

Face changing card (gimmicked trick where a picture card changes to another).

Some torn and restored tricks, where the spectator does not choose a card, but the performer goes right into the routine. Kenton Knepper has one that definitely uses only one card.

I imagine someone who actually knows about card tricks will come along and add more!

In order to attract more replies, it might be better to alter the title to someting like, "card tricks using only one card" ..... 'cos when I was skimming through the "support & tips" section, I mis-read yours as you wanting a single trick, using cards ... I thought you were asking what people thought was the best trick ... so I nearly didn't look at this thread >.<
Just my thoughts ... sorry I can't help with the actual question though

Warp one.

Robert Neale's Trapdoor card. Or Origami - fold it into a frog.

If you get my ILC trick there's idea in there on how to create reactions using just one card.
It's not really a magic trick, it just looks like one to people not directly involved in it.

I have a booklet, 'One Card Wonders' by Peter Kane which specializes in single card magic. I bought this many years ago from 'Repro Magic' who are no longer in business. Mike Danata bought up most of their stock so he might have a copy or maybe you could pick one up second hand.

Dai Vernon does a one card effect wonderfully...

ESP NOW VIP - Cant remember the guy who created it, possibly Paul Brook???

Great effect only using one card or no cards if you wanted.

It's actually called 'Xijatsey' and it's Josh Quinn's in his book Paralies.

What about the Tommy Cooper classic - "This card is now under my complete control..."

Kentons Kolossal Killer?

(I know... Not technically one card, but...)
