THE TRICK - Someone picks a card from a pile of 21 remembers it and returns it to the pile, shuffles them then gives them to you Mr magic-o deals them three times face up into three piles, the one who picked the card indicates which pile it is in each time then you being the great magician that you are tell everyone wear in the deck the card is. Now how it's done Count out 21 cards from the deck that is all you need for this trick. Have someone shuffle them and pick one out to remember. Have them show this card to the others gathered round then insert it back into the deck and shuffle handing them back to you. Holding the deck face down deal the cards into three piles of seven face up. As you deal tell the one who picked the card to keep an eye out for his card and when you have all the cards down to let you know which pile it is in. Now you combined the three piles making sure that the pile with the chosen card is placed in the center between the other two piles. Repeat this 2 more times making sure each time that the pile with chosen card placed in the center between the other two piles. Now start to deal just one pile this time again face up counting to yourself to 10 just as you lay down the 11th card You say this is the card you picked.
