The Seventh Card
Shuffle
then deal 26 cards and place the cards face-up in a stack.
Turn this stack over and move it to the side. Deal the remaining deck, from the top, face up, into a number of piles, as follows. For example if the first card dealt is a 6, cover it with 4 cards (face up), counting out "7","8,"9", and "10," as you deal. Then start a new pile. If the next card is a 7, say "7", and covers it with 3 cards, calling out, "8, 9, 10." If you lay down a 10, simply announce "10" and leave it in a pile by itself. An ace counts 1, and all face cards count 10. At the end, you will usually run out of cards before you can finish a pile. In that case, the pile can't be used. Place it (face down) on the stack that was moved to the side. Now choose any 3 of the piles, and turn them over (face down). Next turn over the top card on each of the three piles. Gather up all non-chosen piles and place them on top of the side stack (face down). Make your prediction. Total the values of the three turned-over cards. In the video it is 7 + 4 + 4 = 15 Announce the name of the card that is in that position. (card # 15 in the video) Magic happens!
