throw it against a wall so it bounces back to you and catch it  or you could just throw it directly upwards into the air so technically it goes away from you but then falls back and you catch it 

thank you, thank you AND... thank you  *takes bow* now on to serious business...If a tree falls in a forest and nobody is there, does it make a sound?  try and solve that one 

hmmm, good question, in theory it would because deaf people are very sensetive to vibrations that they can feel, like they can listen to music if they touch the source...so if it falls onto the ground the ground will shake therefore I think that it will make a sound  I just hope that the person see's the tree as its falling  because if the tree falls on the person and the person happens to be killed...well dead people cant sense vibrations  btw was that the right answer?
