Trick Shot Magic

Thursday January 4, 2007
The Men's Trick Shot Magic Finals are due to air on ESPN Sunday, January 24. Some spectacular business will be underway as Mike Massey and Bruce Barthelette duel in this latest installment of pool wizardry. Runners-up Luke Szywala and Tom Rossman have been eliminated going into this final round.

Due to the tricks on TV phenomenon, for the first time since the 1920's, it is possible to earn a living performing only at trick shot exhibitions and tournaments! The reality, however, is that very few experts can climb to the upper echelons and receive invitations to televised and other high income events.

The Never Missed Bank is a recent installment to our line of simple, anyone-can-amaze trick shots. But what are the hardest, most complicated trick shots you've ever made or seen performed?

It's been said by many witnesses that the late Willie Mosconi could consistently make jump shots using the cue ball on one table to sink object balls on an adjacent table! Have you seen shots as thrilling or can you even top "The Mosc" himself?
