This impromptu Rising Card Effect can be done anywhere at a moment's notice. It is surprising and puzzling in its effect.
A card is dropped inside of a book. Magician shows the book on both sides and his empty hands to the audience. Suddenly the card rises up in a bewildering fashion from the book.
How it is done
The method, 9 drawings and all it needs, inside the library.
