Hello.
After some brainstorming I came up with a trick that, in short words and without revealing the method, is like this: spectator names any card they choose. They say it out loud. I grab a deck of cards from my pocket and open it wide (can be a fan). It happens that the only card that is turned face down is the named card. All other cards are facing up. And no, the spectator is not an assistant.
Please notice that no one touches the deck of cards in my pocket until the spectator says the card he/she chose.
This is a powerful trick when done properly. Because of this, I do not wish to unknowingly take credit of a trick that perhaps was already created by someone else. So I need to know if a trick like this (or something very, very similar) already exists and, if so, please tell me who created this so I can credit the right person.
Thanks in advance.
PS: This information is important to me because if I truly invented it then I can patent it, sell the method to those magic stores etc.
