I can do that.... maybe

So I was browsing my pal youtube and I came across this video. I love pool and consider myself in the 'not suck too much' category. After watching this video, however, I realize how bad I really am. I think this is a really cool collection of pool trick shots. There are a few more available on your tube if you are interested, just search for "Pool Trick Shots."

Enjoy, and go try this at home! (or maybe at a friends house so you don't wreck your walls or lamps.)
