Hi folks. I’m looking for a one deck YDAIDO in terms of an interesting / philosophical presentation. Any guidance? I found this thread which has an excellent bibliography but doesn’t mentuon whether the routine is the standard 2 deck one, or of it can be performed with 1 deck (http://magic.about.com/od/libraryofsimpletricks/ss/012207do.htm).

My requirement is the latter (only 1 deck) + with an interesting presentation.

With gratitude,

Balducci as I Balducci by John Carey is a nice simple do as I do that uses just one deck as for an interesting presentation that is down to the performer, think of the term often used by magicians " make the effect your own " your not going to do that without coming up with your own presentation.

John Carey has loads of good one deck do as I do. My Fav for presentation by John is Think and Sync. Steve Beam has a very cool one deck version in his Semi-Automatic Card Tricks vol 11 called Club Sandwich which has a crazy visual ending.

Ose's handling from the Vernon Book of Magic is a good starting point.
