This is probably one of the only times I won't be able to tell you the history of a shot! Someone showed me this, my memory is failing me, and I believe it can also be found in 'Byrnes Treasury of Trick Shots in Pool and Billiards'. The object is to put the eight in the corner. Here's the layout:
When you set this up, the one and two ball should be perpendicular to the pocket. The one, two, three, and eight ball should be set up all at the same time - if the eight keeps pushing the one, two, and three balls apart it could be that the balls are actually too clean! Patience is needed, so keep trying. Once the pyramid is set up, put the four ball in place. Line the cue ball up for a full hit on the three ball and use a medium hard stroke. If the eight pops up, but doesn't make it to the pocket, hit a little harder. If the eight goes flying and knocks the guy out on the table kitty corner to you... lighten up muscles!!! This one is pretty easy, so have fun!
