Check out Some Cool Pool Tricks and Domino Mazes

Hevesh5 (aka Lily Hevesh) has a ton of patience when it comes to setting up dominoes. She recently put together a video which combines falling dominoes with pool shots, and the end result is pretty damn cool.

All I know is that these shots must have taken a long time to set up. She’s a real pool shark, a hustler, a domino diva. This puts a whole new twist on that game of pool I was going to play tonight. Now I feel like I have to set up some elaborate domino structures just to compete.

There are some failures along the way here, like the one on the air hockey table, but mostly impressive wins. Some of these even go from air hockey table to pool table. Others use multiple pool tables. It looks like a lot of fun, but I wouldn’t want to be the one who has to clean all of those dominoes up after a day of this kind of fun.

Great job, Lily. This kind of thing takes careful planning and precision with the strategic placement of every single domino. You have to be good with a pool cue too.

In the end, iFixit said, AirPods … Continue reading
