A slight change to the haunted deck routine.

[Aced1993]

Hi, guys. It's me again. Looking for another trick/product. This time it's a bit more of a mystery to me. I'm fascinated with the haunted deck routine, where I've seen magicians cause the selected card to jump out of the deck, but I don't want to stop there. I want to get the card to float out of the deck and up into my hand.

Does anyone know of any products out there on the market that can help me achieve this effect? Is there anything that can reel in invisible thread on its own?

Dynamo does this.

Any electric reel should do the job. Examples are Tarantula and Spider Pen by Yigal Mesika.

i have and love the tarantula
with slight modifications to the haunted deck routine taught on the dvd this can be done however the thread would have to be attached to the card in some way
its not a big deal but i personally dont like having to get rid of wax on the card because the version taught on the dvd has the deck moving and the card shot out a few feet away from the deck which removes the suspicion of thread on the card (the thread is attached to the deck not the card)
if you are willing to have a little slit somewhere on the edge of the selection (either by secretly making a tear on the selection or using scissors and forcing the card) you can put the thread in the slit and have it attached that way making it automatic when you move the card away from the thread it will disconnect
yigal mesika teaches a trick where a bill floats up to your hand using the same method on the dvd
