In effect the magician shows a playing card, and places it on the palm of his hand. A spectator is invited to remove a Matchstick from his Match box, and lay it across the Card. The performer makes a Magic pass, and the Matchstick levitates right off the Card, floating about an inch over the surface of the Card. Another Card is now placed under the Match, proving there are no supports holding it up. Then the Match floats down, on the surface of the Card, and can be immediately handed back to the person who loaned it. And the Card and your hand can be freely shown on all sides. – there is nothing to conceal. The best part of this trick is that you have virtually nothing to do. Open the apparatus, follow the instruction, and you will fool yourself. In fact, if our instructions did not tell you how this works, you would probably fool yourself the first time you did this. Instructions included, practice well before demonstration!

This is one of the greatest close up effects of all times. A toothpick or matchstick is placed on a playing card and magically floats an inch over the card. Pass another card beneath, to show there is no support.
