Best self working card effect.

A brilliantly presented effect called Alone in the Dark would have to do it for me by Jack Parker.
A trick that has several variations called "Devastation" (Can be found on "Miracles for Mortals" vol. 2) or "4,5,6 packet trick" (can be found on Sal Piacente's lecture notes).
Check also "The eye of Stonehenge", from Lennart Green (on Green Lite)

If absolutely no pre-preparation is allowed, I would go with Daryl's untouched. Absolutely gorgeous in the right hands.
If I'm allowed a bit of set up (even if it's on the fly), then Kenner's Twin Peaks is the bomb.

Theres only one effect that I use and class as self working, although it does require a small set up and a force, and that is John Bannon's "Play It Straight". That routine is simply killer, probably gets better reactions than any other effect I perform.
"Stop!" from Harry Lorayne's close up card magic is a powerful effect. It is essentially not self working, but a little estimation never hurt anyone did it?
I think the better self working effects are Out of this world or any effect like it, Unshuffled even though you need to be able to faro shuffle.
Total Coincidence by Tamariz is really good, although it requires 1 minor sleight and 5 min of preparation. And 2 decks too.
Totally self working? You lost me. A deck doesn't move on its own.
Sleightless? out of this world.

you'll have to forgive you are right rossini from ninja 2. i think it's cool cause all the patter you can use for it.
Doesn't fall within the realms of "no setup", but John Bannon's mental speller from Dear Mr Fantasy is ridiculously powerful. While we're on the subject of John Bannon, he has another very powerful, shuffled deck self worker called "Timely Departure" which just. kills.
I also get a lot of mileage out of a self working "spectator does an impossible location" based off the first Bannon effect.
