/**
* Implemets card trick with 21 cards.
*
* This trick was tought to me by my father when I was a little kid.
*
*
* The trick goes:
*
* 1. Get 21 distinct cards out of regular deck of playing cards.
* 2. Get user to pick a card (You don't need to see or know which card).
* 3. Deal cards into 3 piles of 7 and have user select the pile the card is that he/she has picked.
* 4. Repeat 3 times.
* 5. The card picked, will always be the 11th card.
*
*
* The trick depends on a bit of mathematics,
* hence, there should be a rigorous proof as to why it works every time. Of course, as a 10 year old,
* I could never understand how the trick worked. So, magical powers was a reasonable explanation :)
*
*
* Maybe you know a proof. As for me, I haven't spend any time trying to prove it. Perhaps in the future.
*
*
* Check back at http://www.josesandoval.com/software/cards/.
*
*
* All code and algorithms have been done entirely by me. The deck image I downloaded from somewhere
* in the Web (Sorry, I can't remember where). If you know the origins of the trick, let me know also.
*
*
* You can use and modify the code, as long as you keep this copyright, and let me know (via email) that you
* are using the code. Needles, to say that the code comes without any type of warranty and you can use it at
* your own risk.
*
