If the first object ball is closer to the end rail, this is a standard three cushion shot on new cloth with clean balls. The cue ball follow acts like draw off that ball because it does not completely die or reverse on the first cushion. You can see something similar with "kick and stick" shots on new cloth, where the cue ball can return to the cushion from a ball two or three balls off the cushion.

The shot in the video requires "help".

Kick and sticks are really fun shots to practice. Once you know how to execute them they can be used for all kinds of deviousness and position shots. I'd recommend everyone try them in a progressive practice style drill. It's one practice shot I never get bored with, they just feel so good when everything comes together. Try hitting full ball and both sides of the OB with different spins too, you can make some magic happen when it needs to.
