CARD TRICK

OUT OF THE DECK, TAKE ANY 21 CARDS. ASK A PERSON
TO PICK A CARD. IT ISN'T NECESSARY THAT THE PERSON
TOUCH THE CARD. LAY THE CARDS OUT ONE AT A TIME
IN THREE DIFFERENT ROWS. AFTER ALL THE CARDS ARE
LAID OUT, ASK THE PERSON WHICH ROW HIS CARD IS IN.
WHEN YOU PICK UP THE CARDS, MAKE SURE THE ROW WITH
HIS CARD IN (IS) IN THE MIDDLE. REPEAT THIS TWICE
AND THE THIRD TIME YOU LAY THE CARDS DOWN, IT WILL
BE THE ELEVENTH CARD, OR THE FOURTH CARD FROM THE
BOTTOM OF THE MIDDLE ROW.
