Two-time US Trick Shot Champion Chef Anton has even outsmarted Penn & Teller on Fool Us with this routine. Now, he reveals the secrets behind his signature card sword trick using an ordinary pool cue. This has been his closing act for over 25 years, and he’s ready to share the full details of this professional routine. Welcome to Chef Anton’s Cue’d Up.

Here’s what to expect:

A spectator selects a card and signs a sticker for identification. The card is lost in the deck and placed in a bag. The magician then sets up a trick pool shot, sending the balls racing around the table to strike the bag, causing the cards to fly into the air. The pool cue is thrust through the cloud of cards, and when the dust settles, the chosen card is found impaled on the cue. The spectator can retrieve it, creating an unforgettable memory.

Alongside the professional routine, Chef teaches an impromptu version that can be performed with any pool cue and requires no special devices. You’ll also learn six bar bets, trick shots, and billiard brain teasers to ensure you’ll never need to buy a drink again:

Three Beers: Known as the triangle shot, this quick hustle uses a pool ball and a triangle to create a billiard brain teaser for shooting a ball trapped in a triangle into a pocket.

Two Sticks: Learn to jump the cue ball over one pool cue, making it leap over another and into a pocket. Chef will teach you how to execute a legal jump shot like a pro.

Trapped: Chef used this shot to win the California State 8-Ball Championships. You’ll discover how to jump a cue ball off a rail and outside a ring of balls to sink the selected ball into the corner pocket.

Watermelon Seed: This hustle sets up a wager: whoever rolls their ball the farthest across the table with one hand wins free drinks from everyone else. The secret is surprisingly simple and effective.

Dime In Shot Glass: Using just a pool ball, you’ll learn how to hop a dime off a rail and into a shot glass.

Grifter’s Dream: A highlight of Chef’s show for years, under seemingly impossible conditions, you’ll sink an 8-Ball into the corner pocket, despite it being guarded by other balls and a pool cue.

Shot live in an actual pool hall, you’ll not only learn an incredible card trick but also various trick shots you can perform on any neighborhood pool table. The tricks range from easy to more challenging, making Cue’d Up the perfect introduction to pool ball wizardry.
