I have made a lot of money with this one. You take a ball, your keys, a shot glass, or anything else that you can hold comfortably in your hand. You tell the marks that you will throw the keys, they will stop in mid-air and come right back to your hand. As you say this you pantomime throwing the object like a baseball, hold the object away from you (as you say, "stop in mid-air"). and mime the action of catching the object like it was a baseball thrown at you. It never fails to get a few suckers to bet on this. You build it up caliming that there will be no strings or wires or any thing other than the object , your hand, and the air. When the money is on the bar, simply toss the object up into the air and catch it on its way back down. You did exactly what you said you would do.

Hey that's pretty good, wording needs to be tweaked abit though.

I am not going to give my exact pitch on a public forum. That said, what would you "tweak"?

I would say mid flight instead of mid air because it's not "technically" stoping in the middle of the air. I do really like this though and am definetly going to use it. Thanks for sharing

If you toss an object straight up it certainly will stop in mid-air (before returning) by my understanding of that phrase.

Right. For the 100 trillionth of a second it takes for the object to stop going up and start going down, it has to "stop". It stops, it just does not linger in the air.
