Tenyo's Floating Card
An amazing card levitation effect
Show a deck of playing cards to the audience, and invite a spectator to freely select any card. Place that card face-up onto the deck. Magically, the card slowly floats upwards. You can even remove the card below the floating card and the selected card remains suspended in mid-air. The selected card slowly returns to the deck. You can immediately spread the deck to show the faces of all the cards. The deck is a regular deck and can be used for other effects.
A very clever principle is used to create the animated levitation and also allow the card beneath to be removed to dispell any suspicion of the floating card being supported from underneath.
"This is one of Tenyo's best. Carbone is a genius, and this thing looks like real magic. It's one of the few Tenyo tricks you can do in a performance situation without it "looking" like a beginner's trick. I use this regularly and it has held up very well."
