Playing around on the computer this evening and I came by this photo with the funniest caption:
"It suddenly became Obvious to the producers that the idea of combining the game of poker with that of pool, sounded a lot better on paper."
This is definitely one of those one of a kind photos that you just don't come by often. Heh, this gentleman needs some lessons in poker. He just doesn't know how to protect his cards!
Actually, this is Rob Mollien, a magician from Holland. Rob Mollien became the first Dutchman to hoist the coveted PartyPoker.net World Pool Masters Trick Shot trophy over his head by defeating a pack of hopefuls including Lukasz Szywala of Poland, Tyler Edey of Canada, and Vincent Facquet of France. The 32 year-old from Amsterdam is a professional magician by trade but he avoided his trade mark tricks in favour of a succession of pure skill shots that went almost to perfection, to the delight of the enthusiastic crowd.
Mollien finished off with an eye-popping finale that involved spearing his cue through a pack of flying cards and an impaling a card pre-selected by a member of the audience.

I'm actually wondering right now if I'd rather see that kind of stuff in person or on video, so I could rewind it and replay over and over.
That's the game I taught my nephew when he was a toddler...52 cards pick up. Great game to teach someone.
