Trick With Matchboxes

Get two outside covers of any sort of the ordinary matchboxes, large size. Place them on the billiard table with a ball on each. Put a third ball in a line with a pocket and the two other balls as in diagram.

Play a hard shot with the ball on the table into the pocket through the matchboxes, which should fly off the table, and the two balls will occupy the places where the matchboxes stood.

The above is an example of one of the seventy-five tricks contained in the book.

“To say that no billiard-room should be without this joyous and ingenious little volume is nothing: there is no player, amateur or professional, who would not get his moneysworth out of it.”—Sportsman.
