This is an action trope. It is performed by a character who throws something to another character (usually an enemy) to make him catch it — either to simply distract him or to induce something even more nasty. This can be made to escape a gunpoint situation. "Think fast!" is the same trope, worded differently. A common way to show that a fighter is highly aware of his surroundings is for him to react to this with a No-Sell (throw an orange at him and it bounces off his chest) or a Nonchalant Dodge (throw an orange at him and he casually moves out of the way, not remotely distracted from the task in hand). Alternatively, they may perform a Catch and Return. Can also reveal that an impersonator is Not Left Handed. Or is left-handed. Works not only for impersonators, but also for suspects — when you know that the crime was committed by a left-handed person. |

In Sherlock episode "The Lying Detective", Mrs Hudson pretends to be jittery while making tea and drops her cup in slow motion, so Sherlock would drop down the gun he was holding in order to catch the tea cup before it could hit the floor, at which point Mrs Hudson picks up the gun and points it at Sherlock and forces him into the trunk of her car. | |

Terminator 2: Judgment Day: Sarah distracts a guard this way during her escape by tossing keys at him so he would leave his midsection exposed and vulnerable. The title Determinator launching tear gas at cops wearing gas masks. He eventually approaches them, hands the tear gas launcher off with a, "Here, hold this," and rips the mask off of the cop to whom he hands it. |

Used occasionally in Ranma ½. For example: Ranma distracting Happ�sai with a tossed bra. He's such a Dirty Old Man that it's guaranteed to work no matter how many times it's used. Or the principal tossing something like a pineapple at the students to distract them. A pineapple that explodes. Also used in more serious arcs. In the final battle, Ranma tosses what appears to be Akane's small, dehydrated form at Saffron. Even Saffron is disgusted by Ranma's apparent disregard for the life of Akane, before realizing it was a fake made out of some sticks and leaves. While he doesn't catch it, the distraction still serves its purpose. |

Eddie Guerrero won some of his matches (including his last) this way: while the referee is accidentally hit or otherwise distracted, grab a metal folding chair, bang it into the ring, toss it to his opponent, then fall down as if he just got hit, at which point the ref awards him the match by DQ. | |

Discworld, The Fifth Elephant: A small subversion is used in where Vimes throws an orange at a harmless-looking bureaucrat who doesn't catch it. This is later subverted even further when Vimes proves his suspicion that the bureaucrat is an assassin, who opted not to catch the orange based on the fact that it was not a threat. Specifically, the assassin didn't react at all to the orange. It hits him, and fell to the floor. Vimes repeated it with his dwarf subordinate later sending said cop ducking under a table. Later it is explained most people at least flinch or dodge the orange if they aren't going to catch it. Vimes later uses the Hey, Catch! tactic to kill the novel's Big Bad, who, being a werewolf, is rather strongly inclined to play Fetch. |

Fallout 2 has an example you can pull on Pretty Boy Lloyd if you force him to dig up the stash he's hidden in a grave in the New Reno graveyard. After a while, he'll circumvent and dig up a land mine he left to protect the stash (but not disarm it). Once he's done exhuming the grave and retrieved the goodies for you, well, might as well make use of the mine, right?... | |

Ace Combat: Wings Of Unity combines this with Pre-Mortem One-Liner: After Sunburst knocks an enemy pegasus out of the air with a well-placed punch, making him drop the bomb he was carrying, Sunburst grabs the bomb and throws it back at his foe as he falls away, with a taunt of, "You forgot something!" Boom. Could also count as a Coup de Grâce, since the Mook was likely falling to his doom anyway. | |

Norrington, in Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man's Chest. Done to a Dutchman member, Hadras, who's holding his own head while stating that he will pry the chest away from Norrington's cold, dead hands. Cue Norrington shouting "Here you go!" and tossing the chest. Hadras promptly catches it, triumphantly of course, but... his poor head... | |

At the end, after he's regained his vision, he strolls into the nurses' tent with a cane, claiming to have had a relapse, so they can go ahead and change since he can't see them. One of the nurses throws him a coffee cup, which he catches... Oops. | |

One story in Archie Comics, Archie hears Reggie yell "catch!", and covers his head reflexively. Reggie acts hurt that Archie would suspect him of such a trick and Veronica calls out Archie for distrusting his friend. Archie apologizes, and the next time he hears Reggie yell "catch!", he turns to catch it - and catches a rotten egg in his face, Reggie and Veronica mocking him for being so gullible. Laser-Guided Karma kicks in when Archie is angrily recounting the episode to Betty, and when Reggie overhears Archie shouting "catch!", fearing revenge, ends up diving into a mud puddle, taking Veronica with him. | |

(Willow isn't actually trying for a Hey, Catch! here — he just misses, but Bavmorda obligingly snatches it out of the air anyway.) Unfortunately for Willow, the magic of his quirky village witch doctor is not up to the task of petrifying the uber-sorceress Big Bad, and she shakes it off rather easily. | |

In Johannes Cabal the Detective Cabal manages to subdue a centuries old incredibly powerful warlock this way, tossing him a vial of holy water. The warlock, Umtak Ktharl, is so evil the holy water boils and bursts the vial in his hand, causing him to lose his concentration and plummet (he has hovering at the time) into a fast-moving river. The narrator muses that the only reason this worked is that Ktharl caught the item (which was the worst thing he could do) because he was so sure it couldn't hurt him. | |

Yanagi throws a teapot full of boiling water to his old foe Shibukawa and, while he is distracted, Yanagi stops his attack just before Shibukawa's face, showing how easily he could have killed him. Soon after that, while Yanagi was in the middle of a fight against Baki, Shibukawa appears from nowhere and throws a teapot all over Yanagi, who starts screaming... before realizing that it was, in fact, cold water. Then Shibukawa sports some laughs and the fight is resumed, without using the surprise to attack. | |

Used by a different version of Sherlock in Elementary when he bursts into interrogation and throws an orange at a suspect's face to test a theory that the suspect is blind in one eye, which would give him a Disability Alibi. |

Dominion Tank Police: An unusual variant of this trope occurs in episode 3 of New Dominion Tank Police: use one crime to fake out the police while you finish another. The "stick" in this case is a runaway truck full of highly-unstable explosives (meaning, if it crashes, a fair chunk of the city goes boom). The police must mobilize all hands to evacuate the area. Although the truck is eventually stopped by Brenten's Big Damn Heroes moment, the "stick" still works, as it prevents the scheduled bust of a warehouse in the harbor, giving the criminals (who secretly orchestrated the runaway truck) the time they need to clear out the warehouse before it is raided. | |

Offering to pour computer expert Gregor a cup of coffee, Sam deliberately spills the coffee and when he goes to wipe up the mess, he (again deliberately) knocks a cup off the counter. Gregor catches it, showing that he's more skilled than just a computer guy.

They show up in wheelchairs (only to be exposed when the baliff says "All rise" and he does), and even dressing like the Elephant Man. The judge expresses his anger at the disguises and tosses something to "a blind man" who catches it easily. | |

In the Star Trek: The Next Generation episode "Ship in a Bottle", Data discovers that he, Captain Picard and Lt. Barclay are in a holodeck simulation by throwing a tool to a holographic, and apparently left-handed Geordi LaForge. (Earlier in the episode, Data had discovered a bug in which the holodeck would get handedness wrong.) Of course, Data threw the tool crosswise right-to-left across 'Geordi's' body, which most people would catch with their left, regardless of their dominant hand. | |
