90+ degree cut shot

[straightline]

I did this for years. Made thousands on it, no lie. I hadn't done it in about 20 years as everyone already knew I was good at it and I forgot all about it. I did it again a couple months ago to a whole new crowd who had never seen it and picked up a few bucks I was cracking up the whole time. I'd start with 30 attempts! After getting all the dough, I'd come back a few weeks later and offer do a full rack with the 8 in the middle and pocket the 8.

Ok. How does this work?

I saw Cue Ball Kelly do the 8 in 3 throws. If the balls break right, the 8 is close to dead. I don't know if Kelly was "creative" with the rack or not.
