Hi, im new to theory11 I am curious how this one trick works, you show an all blank deck (both sdes of cards) and tell the spectator to choose any card, you hand them a double blank card saying its their card, and then a pile of them. You put their card in the middle of the pile, which is entirely blank. and in the end of it you reveal that their card is the only printed card in the deck. Its been racking my brain for a week. Its not an invisible deck by the way.
Need help with trick, explanation?

I do not know the trick you are talking about but hopefully, someone here will be able to point you in the right direction to learn it properly and legitimately. If you are new to magic then I also suggest you watch this:

Welcome to the site.
That effect is an ACAAN effect from Peter Turner. You can learn that effect from Peter Turner Live Lecture 2 on Penguin Magic.
It really doesn't have much to do with Peter's ACAAN on either of his Penguin lectures although the method could be re-purposed for this effect.
I feel like you were probably talking about an effect accomplished with a nudist deck or a variation on the snowstorm plot.
I think you mean Blizzard rather than Snowstorm unless you are intending to cut the blank cards up and use a fan.
From the description, I suspect that the effect uses some combination of equivoque, the principle behind an Invisible / Brainwave deck and the principle behind a Svengali deck, a pocket index, a paddle move and/or a technique which gets the same result as the technique used in Dean Dill's Blizzard.
There is a great effect with a similar design by Jim Steinmeyer in the September 2015 issue of Genii titled The Emperor's New Deck. Oh yeah, there is the second method used in that effect -- that is beautiful in its simplicity and deception.
I found the name of the effect, Brainstormer, on YT. What kind of deck allows this trick? Anyone? Its brilliant.
Insomuch as it is a published effect, we're not going to try to reverse engineer it for you. You can purchase it from Mark Leveridge's website here: http://www.markleveridge.co.uk/bs.php it is in this book here: http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/S12066 which for $7.49 is a bargain. You can also download the e-book from Mark's website.

Yep, that's what I meant. I just saw Magick Balay's version advertised on Penguin and thought of this thread. http://www.penguinmagic.com/p/7418
