Imagine a stack of cards, numbered one to seven in order, with one on the top.

Discard the top card (card 1) and put the next card (card 2) to the bottom of the stack.

Put out card 3 and then put card 4 under.

Continue putting one out and one under until you are holding only one card - it should be card 6.
