prepositions - I switched out the Orb "on" him

Peter Quill: He is gonna be so pissed when he realizes I switched out the Orb on him.

Gmora: He was gonna kill you, Peter.

Peter Quill: I know. But he was about the only family I had.

Gmora: No. He wasn't.

-- Guardians.of.the.Galaxy.2014

Although I fully understand what this dialogue is all about, I'm wondering what the usage of on is here.

I think on indicates who is the recipient of the action.

Can you please give me some more examples?
