The original post said "West pulls C8 from his hand, moves it towards the
table (everybody sees it, but it's not actually played) then withdraws 
it ...".  There's no "waving about" which could be interpreted as 
designating the card.  West intended to play the card but realised 
(before actually doing so or otherwise naming it) that he had revoked on 
the previous trick.  I would accept the card had been "designated" if it 
had been waved about just above the table as if to indicate it had been 
played.
