Each other element in for loop

I have been tasked with doing a cardtrick that simulates a sequence of cards. The sequence is that the first card is taken out and placed at the bottom, the second card is placed on the table. This process is repeated until all cards have been laid on the table. If you have the order that is given in "Q_kort",you will lay out the cards in order of size (1, 2, 3... etc). Don't know how to do the process. Trying a forloop but it treats all elements the same. How do you make it so that it becomes every other element? We should do it with an Array. Below is what I got but doesnt really work.

from array import array

Q_kort = array("i", [7, 1, 12, 2, 8, 3, 11, 4, 9, 5, 13, 6, 10]) 

class Kort:
    def __init__(self, Q_kort):
        self.__Q_kort = Q_kort

    def enqueue(self, x):
        sist = self.__Q_kort.append(x)
        return sist

    def dequeue(self):
        forst = self.__Q_kort.pop(0)
        return forst

def magic():
    kort = Kort(Q_kort)
    for element in Q_kort:
        kort.dequeue()
        kort.enqueue(element)
        print(element)

magic()
list for-loop python

use collections.deque

ex)

In [1]: from collections import deque

In [2]: d = deque()

In [3]: d.append(1)

In [4]: d.append(2)

In [5]: d.appendleft(3)

In [6]: d.append(4)

In [7]: d.appendleft(5)

In [8]: d
Out[8]: deque([5, 3, 1, 2, 4])

In [9]: d.pop()
Out[9]: 4

In [10]: d.popleft()
Out[10]: 5

In [11]: d
Out[11]: deque([3, 1, 2])

This is really much simpler than you think, you don't even need to define a class, two functions, etc (btw, append does not return a value, so sist = self.__Q_kort.append(x) assigns None to sist). Just use the cards as requested, until you don't have any more of them:

def magic(arr):
    while arr:
        arr.append(arr.pop(0)) #one card to the bottom
        print(arr.pop(0)) #one card on the table
        
magic(array("i", [7, 1, 12, 2, 8, 3, 11, 4, 9, 5, 13, 6, 10]))

I think this is what you want to do

from array import array
from collections import deque

Q_kort = [7, 1, 12, 2, 8, 3, 11, 4, 9, 5, 13, 6, 10]

class Kort(deque):
    def __init__(self, Q_kort):
        super().__init__(Q_kort)

    def enqueue(self):
        out = super().popleft()
        super().append(out)
        #print('out:',out)

    def dequeue(self):
        forst = self.popleft()
        return forst

def magic():
    output = []
    kort = Kort(Q_kort)
    for _ in Q_kort:
        kort.enqueue()
        out = kort.dequeue()
        print(out)
        output.append(out)
    return output

output = magic()

print(output)
>>> [1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13]
