The chump reaches for the dollar lying on the ground but... zip, it's gone!, into the hands of a smirking wiseguy. The lesson learned is that free money always has strings attached.

This device works best with a crisp dollar bill creased lengthwise down the middle. Attach the little plastic tab to the bill with some scotch tape. Pull the line all the way out and hold on to the button in the center of the device with your thumb. When you take your thumb off the button the bill will zip back into your hand. Practice this few times before you test it on a live subject. This product works best in dim light as the victim will be less inclined to notice the line. Set the bill on the ground and watch it out of the corner of your eye. As the victim reaches for it, retrieve it into your hand. Of course the dollar snatcher comes with a "money back" guarantee.
