Hello and thank you for your question.

The name of the routine where one card repeatedly jumps from the
middle to the top of the deck is called “The Ambitious Card.”

The Ambitious Card
Original Author: Jean Hugard, Frederick Braue and David Nelson

Here is a short description of the card trick.

“A selected card mysteriously appears at the top of the deck again and
again after being sent into the middle of the deck. The final
appearance is a real stunner.”

The explanation on how to do the trick is found here:
Card Trick Central Website
http://ps.superb.net/cardtric/tricks/tbrown/ambitous.htm

Another variation of “The Ambitious Card” is “The Very Ambitious
Card.”

“A spectator’s card rises from the center to the top of the pack
repeatedly. (..) Then the performer places the card in the center of
the pack once more, and the card jumps out of the pack and lands in
the hand of the performer.”

The Very Ambitious Card
Original Author: Oren Yeshua

A similar card trick:

The Jumping Card
Original Author: Brian Quanz

“Spectator chooses a card at random, initials it, puts it on top of
the deck, cuts the deck then shuffles it, and when the magician snaps
the card magically goes to the top of the deck. Then the magician
tells the spectator what the chosen card was.”
