Check out this domino trick shot, scroll down about half way down the page until it says this: Roll mouse over black box to start video! Do that and then that will start the video.

I've seen this before, but does anyone know WHO the player is?

Hello,
I'm not going to claim the credit for this- it was Cardman who posted the answer before and I just remembered it that's all!- but the player in the video is Gene "The Mighty Glove" Catron.
He died last year unfortunately. Here's his obituary from the BCA site:

'In Memoriam: Gene "The Mighty Glove" Catron ... passed away at the age of 58 in his family home in Savannah, Georgia, on February 13, 2005. A trick shot enthusiast, Catron produced a 38-minute video entitled "The Master Trick Shot Artist" in which he demonstrated a variety of famous shots. He appeared on a March 1989 broadcast of The Tonight Show, guest-hosted (at the time) by Jay Leno. Catron was in good company for the evening's lineup, appearing with Angie Dickinson, Charlton Heston and Penelope Ann Miller.
Online sources cite Catron as being a professional billiard champion for over 35 years and having executed the world's largest trick shot with 132 balls. His trick shots often included dominos and were seen worldwide in exhibitions and in over 20 television commercials. He is also credited as the co-inventor of a 9-Ball Board Game, as well as an early career win over a young Mike Sigel in Tampa, Florida'.


Hope this helps,
Chris.
