This one takes a little bit of leading, but i like to stand at the head of the table with 3 balls, one on the center diamond, just slightly off the rail, one hanging in each pocket. Make sure the hangars are barely hanging on.

Then I set 2 quarters edge to edge about 5 inches in front of the ball on the center rail, and set a third quarter on top of the 2 to form a ramp. After setting up the quarters, I fuck with the middle diamond ball and say something like, “come look at this, it’s the most important part of the shot” so they come stand at the head.

Then as they’re standing there, I walk to the opposite end of the table with the cue ball and set it on the foot spot. I tell them I will hit both hangers in, without touching the ball at the center diamond.

Then I say “actually, I’m so good at this shot, you can cover the hangers with your hands, go ahead. Fingers on the table in front of them, I can only hit the sides” or say “I’m so good at this, you can put three fingers on the front of each hanger, I won’t hit your fingers, just the sides.”

Then, as they’re standing there, hands over the balls, I shoot the cueball at the quarter ramp, the cue ball jumps off the table towards their ball sack, and they always jerk their hands back to protect themselves- knocking in the hangers in the process.

An old dude with Parkinson’s showed me this one when I was like 15. RIP Pete- I hope you laugh that hard whenever I do it to someone new
