It seems a little similar to something by Chris Brown, I don't wanna say exactly, in case it would be considered exposure. But I can't say I've seen it exactly like that before.

Chris Brown, "Venus Trap"
Olivier Macia "Wow Control" (Control Freak DVD)
and others have worked on this move.

Findini recently did a variation called the "Jupiter Trap", and then was killed in a bizarre UFO incident, which was later covered up... then uncovered.... then that journalist was killed and it all was covered up again. Findini is now back alive and living somewhere inside Area-51.

It doesn't seem like the idea is taken, but that's a pretty big flash. Not particularly because of your skills, but because of the nature of the control. That's going to be hard to get away with in a live performance.

I'm not at home to try it out myself, but from what I can see, I don't think that will help much. Try it in front of a mirror. That's the best way to know.

Maybe I missed something Albert, but to me this looks like exactly like the same concept as the "venus trap" except that the finger positioning/get-ready is obviously slightly different, and the cover/angles being used are not the same. Now I'm just confused. lol

Regardless of that schugunwinta, you should be proud of yourself for coming up with this control even if someone had come up with exactly the same one before. It is pretty damn cool, although I agree it has angle issues at the moment. But if you do a bit of research into the venus trap and other similar moves I think you should be able to conquer the worst of those angle problems.

The concept is similar, but the move was executed completely differently from the Venus Trap, so that's what I mean by the idea not being taken (as in the exact same move).

well, the secret isn't new, but your handling is kinda nice, tho it's a bit suspicious.

Thanks, I think the natural move just gives it that look
