[edit]

I have changed the method in the article because it does not reflet the current method used by magicians. The method that I added is the newest method and is the most used today. The older method is scarcely used and therefore I do not think that it should be shown in the method box. Pehaps it would be better suited to be mentioned in a historical methods section. Anyone have any imput? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 209.105.196.19 (talk) 03:29, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I do agree that your method is the most used and probably the best method. I don't think that there is even a point in mentioning past methodsJameskgordon 16:20, 2 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Method wars

[edit]

To be accurate, there are many methods available. Routining, misdirection and sleight of hand, however, still remain the essence of any billiard ball manipulation. Shells, half-balls, hinged, nested, and other gaffs can all be used or not used by a performer at varying points in a presentation. Unless a specific reference can be given, the method ought to remain ambiguous--Kosmoshiva (talk) 13:56, 19 April 2008 (UTC)[reply]
