One Card by Daniel Garcia

Every magician I have shown the index to comments on how amazing the quality and size are as well as the ease of use! It's worth the price alone, and I have carried this in my pocket since it arrived as my EDC. I haven't made the envelopes as I am not very crafty, plus using the paperclips and doing Jay Sankey's effect makes more sense to me and my style as I have 'One Card' in my wallet, paperclipped to a card slot, and it is 'in sight' the whole time.. I love performing this so much!

Love DGs products and methodology but for me this one just misses the mark for a number of reasons. The biggest of these is the cost for what is a fancy designer inspired slim index and some tracing paper envelopes. The routine is nothing sensational and he references one of my earlier favourites Jay Sankey's Paperclipped... I feel like I have been slightly underwhelmed with this.

I am all for making props and elements to tweak for the benefit of the performance but considering what needs to be done to prep the envelope I feel it is a hark back to the 90s magic DVDs and getting the DIY equipment out to build gimmicks.... I have done my fair share of splitting cards and here I am again.

The tutorial is a good length but a little too much blurb and slow paced. Parts feel like they belong in a lecture. Some of the bonus routines for me are better and they don't require the envelopes.. Again using some basic Sleights or Sankey subtleties.

Will stick to my tried and tested market stall leather wallet that has been going for years and does the job fine all for only £3 a wallet.

Beautifully Designed, But Functionally Flawed

As a huge fan of Daniel Garcia’s work, it pains me to write this. One Card promises a sleek, professional-grade index system but in real-world performance, it sadly misses the mark.

Let’s start with the good: the design is gorgeous. You can tell care was taken in the engineering it's slim, rugged, and clearly meant to be an upgrade. The included envelope and streamlining of the routine are conceptually brilliant. I wanted to love this.

But here’s the issue: the material is far too grippy. Instead of a smooth, confident steal, you’re left wrestling with the card mid-performance. No matter how much I rehearsed, it never felt fluid or deceptive. What should be a clean moment of magic often turned into a fumble and in my view, that defeats the purpose entirely.

This might work for hobbyists or controlled environments, but for working pros who rely on smooth execution under pressure, this just isn't it.

Really hoped this would be a game-changer. For me, it’s unfortunately a drawer-dweller.

As always Danny Garcia’s teaching is top draw, and so is the index system. Fits perfect in the pocket and very simple to work with. Highly recommend
