Making Trick Shots Never Comes Fast or Easy



We've all seen those videos where someone does amazingly precise things, from full court basketball shots to Rube Goldberg machines, and wondered how many times they had to do that to get it to work perfectly. Michael D. Shields does amazing tricks on his YouTube channel That'll Work. He doesn't tell us how many tries it takes, but he lets us in on how long it takes to get a ping pong ball to bounce exactly where he wants it. Better still, we don't have to sit through all the failures that come before the success.

What Shields does for a living doesn't change the world, but it's real work that tales real time and effort. You have to be at the top of your game to lake a living at it, so who are we to look down on it? You can see more of Shields' trick shot videos at Laughing Squid.
