Is there a known way to let multiple cards fly mid air?

Hello.
Is there a known way to let multiple cards fly mid air?
It could be a temporary effect like 5 cards which are seperated from each other staying in air (without something holding them there) visible and forming a beautiful shape. After 20 seconds they fall to ground.
Also something like a video of a trick like this would be welcome

If they are defying gravity, then there will be something holding them there...

I could imagine this myself for 1 card, but I think getting 5 to fly in a beautiful shape should be pretty hard.

Only way I know how to levitate cards like that would be cleverly placed and choreographed IT

Would this be on a stage or in a stand up setting?

Could be either.

In a close up or stand up setting, you will definitely need some form of platform or attachment that you can control that the audience won't see. You can also use ITR, though I doubt you can control it super effectively, and you probably won't be able to do more than one or 2 cards. Unless you really want to create some sort of electronic piece that you can control.

In a stage or parlor setting, or even one where there is a large "performance are", you have slightly more options, as you can set it up ahead of time and can use a few options. But overall, it's mostly the same thing.

There will eventually have to be something holding it up if the cards are actually there.
