Hi, There are some movies around of spectacular billiards tricks. Some look too good to be true, and I wonder whether there's some surreptitious technology in the background. You can imagine balls with a conductive centre, and linear motor type coils embedded under the table top guiding the shots on their desired trajectories. If you made a matrix across the whole surface you could program the routine. Does anyone have any information on this being done? Google just lists lots of astounding feats.
