Table Tennis magic trick!

[Dan]

Behind the back shot super star Cazuo Matsumoto of Brazil has pulled of another piece of footage that has shocked the table tennis World.

I just stumbled across this amazing footage of Cazuo Matsumoto from his facebook page. Cazuo can be seen moving the ball without touching it. How is he doing this? Can anyone else do this? It looks like Cazuo is saying he does it through his mind hehe

Cazuo Matsumoto likes his tricks, in the video below, you can see him doing a back shot in table tennis at 1.30

zhang jike and ma lin doing hard work and matsumoto is doing magic tricks thats the difference ^^

i think he did it with magnets or something

 

[LUNTE]

Probably magnets idd. If you watch closely his bracelet is the thing the ball goes after.

 

[Camarão®]

Static!!!! The same thing that makes your hair glue in any stuff

And the guy said in the end looking at Ma Lin and ZJK : "And, in the other side, real table tennis" hahhahaha

powerbalance

He is wearing a PowerBalance bracelet which magnetic and a scam as a performance enhancer. but used to be fashionable. I might still have mine somewhere

 

[lgreggs]

That trick looks awesome. I may have to try that. Make people think im a wizard haha

 

[YosuaYosan]

Haha he is playing around while the pros are training xD
Maybe he is doing it with static electricity. Probably ruffed his hands on his shirt?

Here is a shot of magic, maybe something for the shots of 2012 video?

The backhand after 24 seconds

best way. and a new ball. keep on trying it

Ahh yes a new ball also explains it, much less dust and better ball surface

Edit: Wait.. Is that the new plastic ball?

 

[Mr. RicharD]

His bracelet probably gives him a small static charge. Not so much magnetic as electric.

The player in blue did the shot earlier, and the guy in red said, "that's not how it's done...this is!!!" And Whaaammm!! Curve ball!!

It's just ridiculous the amount of sidespin he got. I mean we can probably do it in training or as a one off shot, but this guy did it in a tournament. Talk about cool head. Obviously he knows that he has the ability to do it.

the shot is cool and not easy to do, but everything is possible .. just do it if you never try, it will never happens the side spin is ok, it looks very much, because there is no real space to the left and right

Unfortunatly the shot was in 2011, i think in the beginning of december in the swedish top twelve, boys juniors

Dam, that was definitely a contender for 2011 best shots! So much precision and side spin!

I have seen balls that were new do things like what Cazuo is doing on their own. When it is hot and dry and the balls are stored in a certain way they get a lot of static electricity on them. If you purposely caused a ball to become very staticy it would also do that. Something like rubbing it fast for a time on a fabric like wool or synthetic fleece would do the trick. And it would work better with a new ball than an old ball.

That is a very cool backhand.
