If i make her choose a number and i will guess it, she'll say 7, because "This choice appears to be driven by people's idea of the properties a random number should have" (wiki).
but if I make her tell me a number fast, she will say 8 most of the times.
so I do the routine this way:
to 2 girls, i'll came from best friend test or something and see if they can transmit a word, I say 8 in the ear to one of them, and make the other imagine a room, a blackboard and her friend wearing funny clothing writing something, then I say, answer fast, which number has she written, if they don't say 8 use xfman number cold reading (it's in his webpage) or blame them because they weren't paying attention or something.
So I'll do the 8 routine, and if that works and they ask to do that again ask them to say a number and have seven written in my phone or something.
I hope it work for you, it works in argentina where we speak spanish (it might have something to do to the pronunciation).

I'm pretty certain that when they say "90% of the time they will say 7", what they REALLY mean is "In native English speakers, 90% of the time they will say 7".
If you come from a non-english speaking background, your answers might not be 7
Similarly:
Name a vegetable: Won't always be carrot
Name a flower: Won't always be rose
Name a colour: Won't always be red.
(these are 3 more common choices)
