The floating match is a magic trick in which a matchstick appears to float over a playing card.[1]

This effect was originally created by Ben Harris. Over the years, many copies of the effect have been made. Most of them include a pre-made gimmicked card to be used for the effect. It has been described as one of the most ripped-off effects in magic.[2]
