Although I was personally disappointed in this gimmick, I can see where--in the right hands--it would be very useful. Without giving anything away, this allows you to not only visibly levitate a card without thread, it also allows you to spin the card in midair.

One of the descriptions says you can spin a business card toward a prosepct and hand it to them. Due to the nature of the gimmick, I personally believe this would be difficult at best.

I primarily do stage magic, and this gimmick was not particularly useful for me...but it IS of high quality and great for parlour or even close-up use.
