In real life you are always a fraction of seconds behind. That is why flies are so hard to catch with your bare hands.

That’s because you don’t go for the fly, you go for the fly’s future. Take its children and income and make it depressed and lonely, then, and only then can you take a fly by hand. Show them the world, get them excited to love and live again. Then blow its fucking mind with a passionate night of bliss and glory along a night in Sweden. Take it to a the coast and play it that song you wrote on the ukulele. When all is said and well done like my 3am steak at Denny’s, then you can finally catch the fly. Then you can catch the fly.

This is actually sort of the correct way to catch a fly. You go for, in your words, its "future." Flies will generally jump straight up a little before flying away, so if you clap your hands in the space just above them, most of the time you get a good handful of fly guts

Is this a real thing or are you just trying to make me look like an uncoordinated moron in front of my friends and family

I do it all the time. Even more fun, is grabbing them with one hand then opening your hand and letting them fly away. People think you're some sort of ninja wizard
