== Literature ==
* In ''[[Harry Potter and The Chamber of Secrets]]'' Harry throws Lucius the diary wrapped in an old sock, thereby freeing Dobby.
* A small subversion is used in ''[[Discworld/The Fifth Elephant|The Fifth Elephant]]'' 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 {{spoiler|is an assassin, who opted not to catch the orange based on the fact that it was not a threat.}}
** Vimes later uses the Hey, Catch! tactic to kill the novel's [[Big Bad]].
** Specifically with the bureaucrat, {{spoiler|is that 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.}}
