How to Perform Rising Card
If you like the classic rising card effect where a spectator selects a card and then loses it in the deck and the card mysteriously rises up, here’s yet another version.

Skills: The ability to locate a spectator’s lost card.

Have the spectator select a card and replace it in the deck.

Secretly find the spectator's card and place it on top of the deck.

Hold the deck in one hand and the other hand above the deck, as in the picture. Lift the top hand (for effect), and use your thumb to push the back card up.
