Perhaps you've let your friends (suckers) try to hit the 8-ball on their own (with some ridiculous jump stroke of advanced difficulty) a few times. Now you again pledge you will make the shot on the first try. You will hit the 8-ball without the cue ball ever touching the 5 or the 12.
When you are set, shoot the white cue ball at the spot below the 8-ball. Be sure to roll the white ball slowly enough toward the target to perform the secret of the trick...
