Lightbulb [DONE]21-card magician fooler challenge

I would like to have a 21-card magician fooler. You know the classic trick where you put 7 cards per row and the person mentally pictures a card and there are 3 phasses and at the end you get the person's card there?, I would like us to create a trick that would definately fool magicians.

This is the ONE trick everyone shows me when I go in a bar and I go to do some tricks and some guy says I know a card trick, I'd like to show it to you.

So this is the deal... there are no time deadlines for now, as incentive the best idea will recieve a brand new never opened original DVD of DISINTIGRATION by Pierre-Luc Bergeron and Bedfros 'Spidey' Akkelian!

In itself the idea of lowering the expectations of the magician-spectator by presenting to him the most known trick in the world and blowing him away is very seductive an idea.

To the magician doing magic for fun in a bar you a spectator that wants to show a little somethign to him.... something which the magician has seen oh so many times

Here are several possible kickers :
All the cards are the spectator's selection
All the cards are blank except the spectator's selection (after magician's force elemination process which I can explain if you want)
All the cards vanish/squish into one card which is the spectator's selection

Now what needs to be establised is possible handlinigs for packet switches. Since this trick requires a table we will assume that you and the spectator are both sit down... so lapping could be a solution. Please give us even simple little pointers. Lets start first of all in a brainstorming mood.

Here's a a link to the trick description which shows how available this trick is... freely available in about 183,000 pages on google.
