"The rising cards trick is one of my favorite effects in the entire realm of magic. Properly performed, it transforms a simple “take a card trick” into a masterpiece of mystery. Not only does the performer somehow locate the spectators' correct cards, but they also somehow levitate from the center of the deck, rising gracefully in the air. 

"Just because you don’t have sufficient stage space to levitate a beautiful lass, you can still cause objects to defy the law of gravity. And, if your subject happens to select a Queen from the deck, you’ve fulfilled your promise (in your advertising) to float a lady!

"In this revised and updated edition, we’ve added ten more tricks, tips and performance ideas to the initial 25 supplied by Mr. Grant. There’s surely something here that you can put to good use in your own act. After all, they’ve worked for many other performers. There’s no reason why they shouldn’t work for you."

Several dealer methods are given, including effects for close-up, impromptu, platform, stage and TV.  A very handy reference for any performer.
