Hand vs. Eye
They say the hand is quicker than the eye.
But is that always true?
Michael, I'd like to try this as a game with you.
Do you have any cash on you?
Yeah.
What do you got?
Ten.
Ten dollar... okay, let's do this as kind of like a little bar bet.
Crumple it into a ball.
Then would you hold out your hand flat above it?
Keep your hand flat, as flat as you can.
As fast as you can, I want to see you grab that bill.
It's pretty quick.
So what if we escalated that and I took a hundred dollars?
I say, " Finders keepers."
We put that as a crumpled ball on the table, that becomes our target and I 'm going to put my hand about here.
So your hand is already halfway there, but do you think it's possible for me to grab the bill before you do?
No.
No? Okay.
When you see my hand begin to move, I want you to grab the money, okay?
What do you think?
Would you take the bet?
Your ten dollars against Apollo 's one hundred?
Plus, you have a one foot head start to grab the money first.
Of course you would, right?
Well, let's see how this plays out.
Wow.
And he wasn't the only one who took the bet.
Dang it!
In this case I get to keep it.
Perhaps we 'll give you a second chance, all right?
