I've seen a lot of videos of this shot on the internet, so I thought I'd do it too. Four balls are in a straight line by the side pocket. The cue ball splits up the line with each ball going in a different pocket and then the cue ball banks of one rail and pockets a 5th ball in yet another pocket! Learn how!

This is a shot Stefano Pelinga used in a past Trick Shot Magic event. There's a kiss/combo set up by the side pocket and a ball balanced on top of one of the other balls, while a pool cue lays across the table. The cue ball sinks the kiss/combo, dropping the top ball in front of the side pocket, then goes two rails and is guided by the pool cue to pocket the dropped ball. Learn how!

Here's a pretty easy shot where two balls stuff in the corner pocket, but another one decides to go around the table four rails to the opposite corner pocket. Learn how!

This is a classic shot with two balls stacked in the corner pocket. The cue ball pockets the bottom one, then goes around the table 3 rails and comes back to pocket the top one which has since dropped on to the table. Learn how!

This is a shot I invented recently that's related to the Cluster Follow shot. A similar cluster of 3 balls is by the side pocket. This time, one of the balls goes up into the corner while two go into the side and the cue ball draws back to make the last ball hanging in the near corner. Learn how!

Another of Willie Joplin's creation. Quite simple really, one ball into the near corner, another across the short side to the other corner, and the middle ball banks to the far corner up the long rail. Learn how!

A bit extra added on to an old classic. I shoot the first object ball towards the corner pocket. While it's rolling, I shoot at the two ball cluster, splitting them into their respective corners before the first ball goes, while the cue ball runs three rails for the final hanger. Andy Segal shot this in ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2004. Learn how!

Here's a slightly more advanced version of the Classics IV shot. The whole setup is moved back a bit and instead of going into 4 different pockets, we shoot all 4 balls into 2 pockets. The middle two balls go into the corner while the outside two balls go into the far side pocket. Neato! Learn how!

Here's a shot taking advantage of the giant 8 ball, which is initially propped up on a piece of chalk. The cue ball knocks the 8 ball down and caroms back to pocket the 1 ball hanging ball in the side pocket. Meanwhile, the 8 ball rolls and pushes the 3 ball in the side pocket, eventually following in (or as much of it that can fit!). Learn how!

The first part of the shot was invented by Paul Gerni for ESPN Trick Shot Magic 2001. Two balls are forced in to the near corner pocket, and one banks cross corner. The cue ball meanwhile, follows up the rail to pocket the ball hanging in the side. It looks a lot prettier if you don't catch the side rail first, but I didn't have the camera rolling during those takes. Learn how!
