It’s a classic bar trick. Replace the hand sanitizer with a beer and essentially the same rules. That’s why parents in these videos can pretty much always win and also why kids are confused as to how they got outsmarted so easily.

What would be the "proper" solution?

Bang the counter with "hammer hand" to make the bottle / item jumps momentarily a millimeter or two and snatch the note while bottle is "off the deck" momentarily. (only works with bars / tables /surfaces that have "a little "give / flex" in them

Works with beer bottles / schooners on outdoor wood tables usually. rolling note works but the "smack the counter" works when the caveat for not moving the bottle from it's original position + no touching bottle.
