A trick shot is a shot played on a billiards table, usually a pocket billiards table, though snooker tables are also used, that is played with no rules, but does something with the balls that would seem unlikely. Crowds are often entertained by trick shots, as they are with some other forms of showboating. (The term is occasionally also applied, by way of metaphor, to other activities besides cue sports.)
[edit] International competition
Billiards trick shots are the subject of increasing professional, international competition, with world championships often televised.
