Flies react to fast movement. The Venus Flytrap closes slowly enough (at first) that the fly does not have an “I’m in danger” thought until the fingers are interlaced. By the time it’s aware of danger it is far too late. The red part exudes a slightly sticky bait - it helps lure prey in but also hurts their fast takeoff ability.
If you are very patient and move very slowly, you can also sneak up on a fly.

Silly flies. You have to wait until it disappears back into the pipe, and then hobble over…

Considering Venus Fly Traps only have an average lifespan of three feeding cycles, this one did well with a two for one special.

How the hell can flies evade a sonic slap, but a casually closing trap is deadly,,,,

This is not true. I clear "husks" out of my flytraps all the time. I grow a bunch here in Wilmington which is where they're from.

I'm pretty sure that red part is sticky, you can see the first fly has a bit of a stutter step.

Slow moving plants aren't a threat, so they don't react, then it's too late and they're trapped, so they struggle which only tightens the traps grip.

it looks like it closes pretty slow, how did the flies not escape?

the plant releases some acids and other digestive juices to dissolve the flies and absorb nutrients

Isn't it more like trapping (like in the name) than hunting, since the thing is stationary and just waits for prey to come to it, rather than chasing/stalking prey?
