Watch: This British Pool Stunt Is Being Called “Best Trick Shot Ever”

What was ignited by a golf putt has now ignited a social media frenzy; a British pool stunt being called the “best trick shot ever.”

In the video, which has already garnered more than 1.5 million views on Facebook, you can see the ball go through a series of elaborate obstacles, including sailing across 9 pool tables at AllStars Sports Bar in Bristol.

Owner and former pool player Shane O’Hara tells The Bristol Post that he started the trick shot at 11 pm and finished it right before 8am the next morning.  The 31-year-old says he used three GoPro batteries in the process.

“I set the whole thing up backwards, starting with where the ball ends and working my way back. It must have taken at least 150 recordings before it finally went in.”

As amazed as I was that it finally went in, I was glad just to be able to go bed to be honest!

All that for a two-minute trick.

Many Facebook commenters are quick to label the video “fake,” pointing out that it’d be impossible for a ball to roll uphill, which it appears to be doing at the end, but AllStars assures that it’s indeed real. See for yourself:
