As enthusiasts around the globe prepare to celebrate World Trick Shot Day, one pool player’s dazzling achievement is inspiring millions to pick up a cue and attempt a trick shot of their own.

Renowned cue-sports performer Jason Reed, based in Las Vegas, has captured international attention after setting a sensational new world record for the Most Successful Pool Trick Shots Completed in One Hour. Reed flawlessly executed 147 high-difficulty shots, ranging from multi-ball jumps to precision rail shots, each performed with laser-like accuracy and showmanship.

The event was broadcast live from a popular billiards lounge on the Las Vegas Strip, drawing both in-person spectators and a massive online audience. Cheers erupted with every successful shot, while fans worldwide shared their own attempts using #WorldTrickShotDay.

Reed, known for his creativity and calm under pressure, said the record attempt was as exciting as it was challenging.
“Trick shots test every skill—timing, calculation, imagination. I wanted to push myself further than ever before, and I hope others will try something bold too,” he said after receiving his official record certificate.

Cue-sports organizations are using Reed’s achievement to encourage players of all ages to participate in the annual celebration. Whether it’s a simple behind-the-back shot or a full-table jump combo, World Trick Shot Day invites everyone to embrace the fun and artistry of billiards.

Local billiard clubs across the United States—and many abroad—are hosting special events, friendly competitions, and workshops to honor the spirit of creativity Reed has ignited.

As World Trick Shot Day arrives, Reed’s message remains simple:
“Don’t aim for perfection—aim for joy. Pick up a cue, try something new, and celebrate the magic of the sport.”
