Why would anyone buy the trick after seeing that? I'm not a big fan of hiding parts of the trick in your demo, but if you come straight out and say it's a doubleback gaff, the rest is obvious...

One of the biggest problems with this is the over proving, magicians are always running when no one is chasing. Have a red card box, remove the cards face down they see a red back, job done. There's no need to insult the audience's intelligence. Great ploy to buy just one DB card for the price of a few packs of them!!

Well, call me a smart-ass, but medical advisors actually have to be very knowledgeable about their area of expertise (2nd-level-support for pharmaceutical drugs), at least if they work for larger pharmaceutical companies. They need to understand the whole body of scientific work and the whole literature on an array of substances. That's why they are generally medical doctors, biochemists or academics from comparable walks of life - many of them with a Ph.D. - with quite a few years of experience.
I do get the punchline, though ... ;-)
