Welcome Joseph! My first piece of advice is GET MORE CARDS!! If you're gonna do plenty of practise you'll need a few decks.

On what you "need" to learn, well that depends on what sort of stuff you want to perform. But for basic but strong card magic all you really need for starters is a good fake shuffle and/or cut, a one card control, and a good colour change, maybe one of the easier passes, like the turnover pass, and maybe a top change.. And that's stretching it! You can actually do miracles without any difficult "sleights" at all. So what sort of stuff are you wanting to perform?
