Magic Show - Semih Sayginer

I'll take him...
To dinner or something because I can't beat him for sure. If I saw him do some of those shots I'd just hand him my money and say "Good day".

I wonder what kind of cloth he used? Because that is some fast cloth. It must be a formica top or something :) .

That was also a beautiful billiard table. Most Carom tables are 10's but the store owner I showed it to today thinks it might of been an 12foot.

My favorite shot was number 11.

Glad you liked it! It was definitely a 10 footer/match table he was playing on. You can see it better with the ladies ontop of it. He used silicon spray on the cue-ball to make it slide much longer.

I heard somewhere that Semih would occassionally use a silicon coated cueball (some sort of spray???) for his exhibitions. On some of the shots it definitely appears as though friction is being limited by something. Anyone else hear about this?

He does shots with and without silicone on the balls. There are some shots that can't be made without silicone, even by Sayginer.
 
I hate to dampen everyone's enthusiasm, but I heard it took him two takes on one of those shots. Oh well, it's still sorta impressive.
