"Hi. I'm Andy ""The Magic Man"" Segal. I'm here at Willow Billiard in Hoboken, New Jersey doing some trick shots and pool instruction. So if you're ready, let's get started. So you're playing Eight Ball, and you're beating someone. You're beating someone and you finally get down to the last game, really easy shot on the eight ball, and this person is just so mad that he takes his cue stick and lays it down right in your way. Not very sportsmanlike So now you would think that maybe you could try and jump the cue ball over the stick, but if you do and you scratch, or go off the table, you lose the game. So instead of that, there's an easier way to make the eight. And that way you don't scratch, and you don't lose the game. "
