What you need for Catch the Dollar Brain Game Trick:
- You need two people.
- You need a nice straight dollar bill. We used a $20 bill because it created more motivation for my kids. On the Brain Games television show, they actually used a $100 bill, having strangers try to catch it. No one was able to and they definitely were trying!
- One person needs to hold the dollar in the middle at the top of one end.
- The second person will place their thumb and pointer finger about a centimeter away from the Presidents head as the can, without touching the dollar. Their fingers should be aligned with the middle of the President's head.
- The person holding the dollar will randomly drop the dollar bill, while the second person tries to catch it.
Watch the video to see my son trick his sister.
Essentially, what is happening is that the dollar drops faster than the signal to close your thumb and pointer finger together reaches your brain. No matter how many times you do it, you won't be able to catch the dollar because your brain just can't process the action of your thumb and finger grasping the dollar fast enough.
