Cut a packet of 4 cards. Is any of the cards in the same place as it was before?

We have a packet of 13 cards from Ace to King. Let Ace be the first card, 2 the second card and so on with King being the thirteenth card. How can you interchange 4 and 7 (and leave all other cards where they are) by only switching adjacent pairs of cards?

How many permutations of 13 cards leaves the third card where it started?
