Put the table inside a black hole!
Million Dollar Proposition Shot? - How to Do It!

I watched the whole video about the opposite hurricane rotating in northern and southern hemispheres.
Does this mean if I play pool in Australia that when I want outside english that I will need to line up for inside english instead since I will be in the southern hemisphere? I think this thread created more questions rather than answering a question.

OK, I am going to assume that this is not done under "normal" conditions even if you don't actually modify the table or use a gimmick cueball or anything to change the actual equipment.
If you stick a large gravity object on the spot, say a mini sun or black hole then roll the cueball at the right speed and angle, you will have an orbit around it, causing a nice circle as shown.
By "large gravity" I mean relative to the size/weight of the cueball and the table. I'd guess a small speck of a dense star could do it.
Edit.. looked back a bit on thread and found the rotating table post, eh, my solution is better, nothing at all about the table or other equipment has to be moved or modified, table sits still. Although it's pretty impossible to actually do LOL If you could dig up a tiny speck of a neutron star or something similar, it would be pretty invisible but likely have enough gravity to grab the cueball in orbit and no-one would see what is causing the effect.

DaveM wins my permission to build a trailer with a bar-box table on a turntable and travel the country hustling at bars and clubs. :grin-square:
I was browsing around YouTube and stumbled upon this clip. It made me think of this thread.

Hi draw, works every time.
Hey I thought it was a million bucks.....lol.
That is freaky!
Anyone have an idea how he did that?
He claims level table and no magnets.
Nice cue twirling too!
For those who didn't read the thread, the answer was to put in on a turntable, or spin the table... so well done I guess
No, you kept talking about a pool propostion shot and then you link to some woman playing with a ball on a carousel. I thought you actually seen this... with a cue, on a pool table...
That would be why it would take fookin voodoo to do the shot on a regular table. :thumbup:
Well yes and no... we all mentioned multiple scenarios where this shot would be possible (weighted ball, string attched, busted cloth or table)but instead we get shown something that was never done on a pool table and could only be done if we were to put the pool table on a turntable.
If Im the guy walking to the table on top of a turntable and the guy at the table says "I bet you 20 bucks that..." Im just gonna shake my head and walk away...

A strong fan on the heated billiard table, discreetly placed outside of the camera's range, should be able to replace the man's exceptional telekinesis ability..

you can''t do it with a cue stick. the forward movement speed would be to high. you have to pick up the cb with the hand for example, apply maximum spin as possible with the wrist or other device? (max rotations/sec) , and gently throw (let the ball fall, just of vertical) so that the ball as the horizontal forward moving speed is as slow as possible, but max spin, as to swerve it around.
