* In ''Theatre/CesareIlCreatoreCheHaDistrutto'', Rodrigo Borgia does this frequently. Even when he's in his red robes as a cardinal, without a cape, he attempts it. His son, the protagonist Cesare, only has a cape like that in one scene, but he gives it a good toss, showing that he can win at that game, he just chooses not to play it.
* ''Theatre/CrossRoad'' has the devil Amduscias, who does this [[https://youtu.be/-3B1_tpmCmk?si=RzhBFuJ6pVJ_3sQ_&t=64 constantly]]. After the other protagonist Niccolo Paganini makes a contract with Amduscias, he begins to wear a dramatic cape and swish it as well.
