Seen This Before?

[Aaron.Williams]

Well, this isn't really a new idea in magic, but it's a little something I came up with. If anyone's seen it before or knows who created the original, please tell me so I can give credit. Thanks

There are hundreds, maybe thousands of variations on this plot so it would be hard to say where it really originates from. It was decent but invest a bit of money and time in to pinky counting, your double needs work.

At its heart, it's a variation of Chicago Opener.

It needs a little fleshing out. Right now it lacks motivation. It's a color change and a back revelation but one doesn't lead to the other. It needs a good set up for the ending.

As far as the double issue, the turnover itself looked fine. I think the above poster was commenting on the get ready. But there are many ways to get ready for a double without doing a pinky count. I know many magicians who don't pinky count whose doubles look really good. I don't pinky count. I use strike doubles. Or sometimes the bubble break.
