The ultimate pool challenge

I think I remember Fats shooting a similar shot on TV. I've looked a bit but don't see it. Still, in my mind, I know I saw him do a similar shot.

I don't remember if it was a televised special against Mosconi or similar, or if it was at the end of one of his celebrity match shows. He was shooting a few trick shots. The one I remember is he made the ball in the upper left pocket and made the cue ball "dance" along the short rail, hitting it several times in a series of arcs, and finally making the other ball in the upper right pocket.

Anyone remember this? Or, am I just making up memories in my old age...
 
I have been practicing a certain method that I am only about 33% successful at. I rack up one suit of balls plus the eight ball and break and try to run the table without missing. I just practiced 30 racks in 3 groups of 10 and only ran the table 3 times in each of the the first 2 sessions, and 4 times in the 3rd session. It is a bit discouraging to me not to be more successful than this, but I guess that's just who I am as far as my billiards skillset.
