Card tricks, games, structures, anything cards here! Cuz I get board

I have a very cool card trick that I haven't figured out yet. It is a bit complicated, but it is impressive.

Ok, so shuffle your deck of cards thouroghly (Idk how to spell it ) and lay a card down. Lay cards down (face up) on that card from the number on the card to thirteen. I'll give an example for clarity. It the card is a 6, lay 7 more cards on it (6+7=13, the number of cards in a suit). However, if the base card is a face card, it counts as a ten, and you would lay 3 cards down on it. Repeat this (in different piles) until you can't anymore. Flip all of the piles facedown afterwards.
Get a freind or someone to pick all but 3 of the your piles. Collect those piles into your original deck and lay ten out to the side.
Of the three piles left (the ten pile doesn't count), tell your friend (or whoever) to pick two of the piles. Flip the top cards of those 2 piles over and set aside cards the sum of those numbers flipped. So if it was a 5 and a 9, you would lay out 14 cards to the side (face cards still count as tens).
Count the cards in your origional deck and that is the amount on the top card in the pile your person did not pick.
I don't know why this works (I'm sure I could figure it out), but this is Omni. The answer won't be hidden for long...

(I think I own 4 threads in misc. disscussion now, I like this board )

Who hasn't heard of peanut butter... I mean BS?

BS is fun.

I also know of kings corners(multiplayer solitaire like thing)
and thirteen(I'm not sure how to explain it)

Asshole is almost the same as thirteen, but thirteen has 4 players and 3 of spades is the lowest card.
