Re: world's best card rise - help!
Sounds similar to Albert Page's Rising Cards as sold by Will Goldston. Though he used a metal Houlette that attached to your hand. Glass in front and back, the cards rise and all could be examined. No threads.
I have run across a few through the years. It is a nice effect to do.
