I think I have one

Phantom Touch!

Make sure your audience of one feels confident you are alone or at least 20 feet or more away from other people

Ask them to close eyelids

Touch eyelids gently on a slow three count with pointer fingers of both hands for about three seconds

Ask them to touch your hands and make the hands feel and squeeze the tips of your fingers

Ask if they felt being tapped or anything strange anywhere else on their body.

Do it again same way ask them to just squeeze your finger tips after you touch their eyelids

Ask them if the felt anything else

Ask to try one more time

This time use one hand to gently touch the eyelids with your pinkie and pointer finger making the contact and allowing them to just touch the finger tips

Your free hand can now graze the ear or hair or tap the shoulder.

You can keep this up for a while as long as you don't touch the nose with the other fingers or let them touch more of than your finger tips

Attribute it to psychic energy or whatever

On sighted people you don't even need them to touch your fingers for the reaction just quickly return your hands to both finger tips pointing at the eyes after the phantom touch is done

Just realized that a blind person could do this to a sighted person very well with a little practice.

Never tested it on a blind person to be honest though.

Good luck

Joshua Jay does a trick on Fool Us that he designed specifically for the blind. Here's the $1 if you care to try and reverse engineer it or see if he's got it on sale somewhere.

EDIT: Rewatching it, the kicker is more for people who can see, but the original effect works strictly for a blind person.

Whit Haydn's story of performing for a blind person: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LMGTAtnn6vM

In his book "Street Magic", check out "Impromptu Card Code (for the blind)".

Personal experience here: at a nursing home, I did The Professor's Nightmare for/with a blind person. This was also sufficiently visual so that the other spectators were amused. Just let them know in advance that you'll be giving them something to hold, and what it is. Ask permission to touch (as you would with any person).

Thereally was a magician who did a whole set for the niece of the king of Spain. Don't remember his name but might be worth looking into. He blindfolded himself and the family members who could see in the audience. Looked rad! A quick Google search has some cool stuff and a rope trick to teach a blind person. Good luck and would love a follow up.

You could tell which hand they had a coin or object in.

Whatever the trick is, I'd imagine that would have to heavily involve touch and hearing. Something like asking them to think of a number and giving them a closed box or a folded piece of paper to hold onto- the prediction. Ask them to say what number they chose, and let them open up the box/paper and reveal the prediction for themselves.

There is one I know, but it is closer to an illusion rather than a magic trick.

You need three large bowls of water, large enough to submerge two hands in. One bowl has warm/hot water (not enough to burn someone, like hot bath level), one room temperature, and one ice cold (water and ice combination).

Have the person put one hand into the hot water, and the other hand into the cold water. After a few minutes, the hands get partially acclimatized to the temperature of the water it is in.... then take both hands out and put them into the room temperatue water. The hand from the cold water will interpret it as hot, while the hand from the hot water will interpret it as cold, despite them being in the same water. They can even touch their own hands to confirm it is the same water.

It was a science tricky I learned a few decades ago in school :P
