Friday, this is a grand idea! We have done the Guatamalan Steakhouse drill with an unknown gun under the napkin. I like your way better.
Thank you sir. We have a lot of fun with it. Everyone especially likes it when Grandpa succeeds in tricking me. Tricks with the auto's, like an
empty mag, I usually catch before I get the gun to line-of-sight. You can feel that empty mag. But taking the one round out of a revolver gets me almost every time. Best way to ride that out and still look cool is not flinch, which is easier said than done especially with the magnums.
Grandpa doesn't over-play the trickery. He waits until I'm comfortable and then throws me a curve ball.
I used to just look away when Grandpa holstered the gun, but I found closing the eyes adds another element of challenge as it takes a moment for your eyes to acclimate when you open them.
The holster is a critical element I would say. This omni holster is what inspired me...hey it holds 3 guns! Wonder what we can do with it...
The holster has to be able to 'work well'. It doesn't have to fit every gun perfect, but it can't be so weird that the gun presents differently. IE the grip and trigger should rest at the same place, no snags and drags, etc. I have more than 7 guns that will 'fit' this holster, but the others are just too different and don't ride well, and the possibility of a fumble becomes unacceptable.
Comptac makes this holster in 4 different styles, and they're completely adjustable for cant as well as ambidextrous.

The holster works well and is built well. It has a clip that attaches to the belt so It can be taken on and off easily. But this clip won't fit over a belt loop so if you normally holster over a loop you will have to adjust fore or aft a-bit. They say the holster is good for range, competition or concealed carry. It's not the best choice by far for competition or carry, but it works great for range duty. It's also ugly as hell, obviously more 'tool' oriented than pretty.
Comp-tac isn't the only one who make these things. I saw 3 or 4 different kinds on Amazon. One of em supposed to hold eighty guns or something. But you will need something of more substance than an Uncle Mikes.
Obviously I'd consider this an exercise for well-experienced shooters and their helper.
You need to try this one Billy, you guys would have a lot of fun with it.
