This is an incredible animation effect for performance close-up, “right under their nose”.
In effect a spectator selects a card from a pack which is fanned and freely displayed. The selected card is placed face up on top of the pack, and as the magician makes magic gestures, slowly floats up an inch or more over the pack. Another card is waved under the floating card to “prove” there are no supports or threads.
Finally the card floats back, and can be tossed out for examination.
We supply a special gimmicked card that provides the motive force for the float. You add this gimmick to any regular deck, with a back of the same color. No strings. No set Up.
