Just opening a thread to start off a dscussion on billiard balls and balls manipulation techniques.

Anyone into this specialty or have tried this skill and need help in it?

Just post your challenges and see how I can contribute to help you.

Will be waiting :D

Ball manipulation is cool. Always wanted to learn but haven found the right resources. I heard the Fakini set is very expensive huh?

ball manipulations as in the pool tricks shots or some other thing?

Wow, I guess everyone is already an expert in billiard balls. So what kind of balls do you use? Wood? Plastic? Sponge? Metal?

Actually the best balls to use for billiard balls routine is the Fakini Balls. The balls are shining and grips onto your fingers. The material is superb and allows you to do ball flourishes confidently. The price is a bit costly but it would last you a lifetime.

If you are looking for a good set of billiard balls for your act - I would recommend the Fakini Billiard Balls. They come in different colorsand sizes - just select the size that suits your fingers - and smaller in diameter if you want to show off the flourishes with your toes. Hey who says magic cannot be done with your feet? :P

Billiard balls are big.... dont think me small hands can do much manipulations with it? LOL

By the way, who is the expert with ball manipulations? Any well know pros?

Would surely like to see the performance. I have not seen any ball manipulation performance b4. :(

Cheers!

If I am not mistaken I am still the only one doing the following routines

- 4 balls routine with shell
- 4 balls routine without shell
- 4 different colored balls routine without shell
- 8 balls routine with shell
- 10 balls routine with shell
*** managed to practiced Geoffrey Buckingham's 13 balls routine but did not have a chance to perform it.

The best billiard balls you should have is the Fakini Balls. They are excellent for flourishes and control factors. They come in different sizes. They are still considered the best, in my opinion. That's because I have bought almost all kinds of billiard balls before- and I still pefer the Fakini sets.

Brendan, you can always select the size that suits you - the sets come in 1 1/4 in, 1 1/2 in, 1 3/4 in, 2 in. Find what suits you comfortably.

I am still the only magician with the most billiard balls routine -



Brendan, billiard balls come in different sizes - select those that suits you. And I highly recommend the Fakini sets. They are excellent for performances and a pride to own.
