the jumping pool ball with a penny - pool trick

this is a trick i accidentaly found out. i was rolling pool balls over the pool table. there was a penny i saw. i rolled it at the penny. the ball jumped off the penny and off the table. it smashed a window.

what to do:

put a penny on one end (long way) on the pool table. go to the opposite. throw the pool ball as hard as you can at the penny. it should jump

to be sure this would work, i did it many times

NOTE: DON'T throw it towards anything that can break (window). check the width of the penny. mine was thick. if its thin, it might not work.

Step 1 Set up

put a penny on one side of the pool table
