Effect

Using a borrowed deck, a card is selected, signed, and placed back into its pack.

The pack is put inside its box for its spectator to hold. the magic happens in his hands, and slowly... miraculously... the card starts to rise from the pack. the signed card is immediately taken by the spectator, and all can be examined.

Preparation:

Buy a spool of invisible elastic from the local magic shop. it won't cost a lot but the effect it provides is well worth it.

With the elastic, cut off just a short enough thread to make a loop around your wrist. Tie the loop, and as long as you wear it everywhere you go, you're always ready for this effect.

Method

You can borrow a pack of cards or open a new deck in front of your spectator.

Shuffle the pack to prove that they are in no particular order and give to the spectator to cut in two piles and to choose any pile that they want

Take the other pile and tell them that they chose the pile they have for a reason and that a certain card is probably attracting them to it and with your back turned ask them to choose any card from the pile and to sign it.

When your back is turned , you secretly vertically wrap the loop of invisible thread around your half of the pack

You can tell them that your turning the other way and that the selection is pure honesty and that theres no way of knowing which card they would choose.

Take the rest of the cards and put them with your half of the pack

Tell the spectator that their card is unique and that there is no other card in the world that looks like that one.

You then take the card and plunge it into your half of the deck.

Take all the cards and place them in the card box leaving it open.

You then hand the box to the spectator and ask them to hold it and concentrate on the signed card.

The signed card should slowly rise from the box to the amazement of the spectator.

Take the card and show it to them before it has fully risen and while they are inspecting it , take the rest of the cards out of the box and remove the invisible thread where you can again slip it on your wrist.

Everything is now ready for inspection and you can walk away.
