Shooting Star Control

 

In this casual control to the top, a card is merely tossed into the deck, in which it is then seen protruding half-way out. The magician then cleanly pushes the card flush with the deck. Without any further moves, the card is on top.

 

Although a bit knacky, it's a fantastic illusion that is imperceptible in the close-up environment.
