Making inanimate objects move without being touched is a cool effect to perform.
This
clever self-contained setup allows you to do just that with a playing card. I like it even more
that the card moves away from me and not towards me.
There's no complex rigging, no waxes,
no wind ... it's just you, the card, and a smooth level surface.
There is a bit of a knack
to making this look good.
So anticipate investing some practice time.
After the card
moves, most people tend to reach for it - but they won't find anything. You can then repeat it or
leverage it as a buildup for another routine.
