===Rising card deck=== With a [[Rising Card|rising card]] deck, the spectator chooses a card and puts it back in the deck of cards. Then, the chosen card magically rises, whether it is in the box, in the hands, on a surface, or even in a wine glass. The construction of these decks varies. The simplest of these, often described in amateur magic books, involves cutting a hole in the back of the carton so that the performer can surreptitiously push up the top card with their finger. More complex arrangements include a pair of cards gimmicked with an elastic band onto which the target card can be pushed (between the gimmicked pair), or a deck with a fine black thread passed across the top onto which the target card can be pressed down. There are without a doubt more complex and clever arrangements in use.<ref>{{cite book|title=Magic: The Complete Course|author=Joshua Jay|publisher=Workman Publishing|year=2008|isbn=978-0-7611-4987-3}} p. 103.</ref><ref>{{cite book|title=The everything card tricks book: over 100 amazing tricks to impress your friends and family!|author=Dennis Rourke|publisher=Everything Books|year=2005}} p. 144.</ref>
