That's an odd reaction for the rack, but I don't think it did anything to the 8 ball motion, it's too light to cause it to change direction if you throw it on top on a ball. You can try it.
The eight ball hung under the magic rack and went nowhere
Just drove down to Seyberts yesterday and picked up a magic rack.
I only played about a half dozen games w it and saw it influence the break twice (8 ball).
Which side goes up, shiny or dull, or doesn't it matter?
Are you all using these in leagues? How do you deal w inadvertently moving an object ball taking it off the table? Is that a foul?
I'm tempted to bring it on league night but I can see it causing some arguments. There are no rules addressing using it in our league.

Here's another video with what's wrong with the magic rack ref doesn't want to remove it after break and it throws off the balls again
Feijen wanted it removed and I guess the ref said no who has preference over removing the rack not sure but either way the rack jumps

If you think that was because of the magic rack you are crazy LOL, if the ball is rolling very slowly and is just about to stop, the magic rack may affect it by a mm or two. Same as any imperfection in the cloth or a slate joint not being even (which happens often). That shot was hit at full speed and missed because the ball was very close to the 9 and he probably had to cut it more because he thought he would hit the 9 first. Did you see his reaction at the position?
Who gives a shit the magic rack is almost a problem in every game always have to be removed time called to move it cue ball hits it can’t be moved in some instances even when breaking the rack jumps it should be removed in all competitions especially when a shot clock is on in a game So it probably didn’t interfere with the shot but players don’t want to shoot through them if they didn’t mind they wouldn’t ask for removal Got it
Players always remove chalk where they are aiming at so it is a distraction and doesn’t belong Some Chinese guy probably invented it for cheapskates

You are obviously in no position to have a rational discussion about it!
I use one sometimes and don't remove it from the table. I would estimate it alters the travel of a ball ever 30 games or so.
More than 0, but not enough for me to say it isn't worth the hazard.
I guess i'm old fashion and only believe the balls should be the only things on the table during the break no interference what's so ever let me get back to my game
I'm more worried about the "interference" of a bad rack, balls not perfect etc
The magic rack is highly effective and improves the game
