You take a stack of 21 cards. Have the person pick a card, look at it and return it to the pile. Then you deal out the cards in 3 columns of 7 cards each and ask the person to tell you which column is card is in. (You deal 3 across and then 3 more. then 3 more across, etc.) Then you pick up the cards so that the column with the card in it is in the middle. (If the card is in the first column, you put the first column on top of the second column and then the thrid one on top of that.) Deal the cards out again the same way and again ask which column the card is in. Pick up the 3 piles again so that the one with the card is in the middle and deal them out a third time and ask the same question. Pick up the three columns a third and final time. Then turn the pile over and count out the cards as you turn them face up. The selected card will be number 11. You always deal the cards out across in rows--1, 2, 3; 1, 2, 3, etc., but you pick them up in columns 7 overlapping cards together. I learned a simple trick like that as a kid.
