  From Roberto, age 16 of CA:

HERE IS A MIND READING CARD TRICK. You will need someone to act as your assistant for this and a friend to amaze! Have your assistant leave the room during the first part. Nine cards are laid out, face down, in three rows of three. have your friend select a card and let you know which one. Once a card has been selected, have someone call your assistant back in. When the assistant returns, he will be able to find the selected card!

Answer below...

 
 
   

To reveal the answer, click and drag your mouse between the lines:

 When your assistant returns you are holding the rest of the  
 deck in your left hand. Your thumb will represent which card  
 was chosen. Example: if the spectator chooses the card in  
 the middle, your thumb would be directly in the middle of  
 the deck. You will have to do this once for the row the card  
 is in, and again for the column. So your assistant can first  
 say what row the card is in and once this is done,  
 you can move your thumb, if necessary, to indicate which column it  
 is in. 
 The trick is to be VERY DISCRETE when holding the  
 deck. Shuffle the deck a little so as not to draw attention  
 to yourself. Keep a serious look on your face,  
 and stare at the assistant, as if you actually had ESP.  
 Let your assistant reveal the chosen card.
