Card Tricks Counting

Card trick: There are 3 cards in the middle, 2 you flip and you have to guess whats the middle one?

I remember a friend doing this card trick and I learnt it too. Its been more than an year now so I forgot it but I want to remember what it was. All I remember from the trick is:

There are 3 cards in the middle, 2 you flip(so you can see) and you have to guess whats the middle one.
I also remember each card had its own value: ace one to king 13(if my memory is good)
Also I remember you flip cards until a certain number.
With this and the flipped cards from the middle you counted something and then you remove those cards from your pileƩ The remaning number of cards minus something was the number of the card face down in the midle(5 for a 5, 11 for a jack etc)
Does anyone know this trick?

Ah it's a trick question! Your friend knows the trick!
