Stephen Maguire plays "the most amazing shot in the history of snooker" at the Masters! (video)

Stephen Maguire produced a shot that baffled snooker fans, players and pundits on Monday during his first round match with Neil Robertson at the Masters.

In the seventh frame of the match, the Scot looked to power in a red into the top corner only to see it bounce back out of the pocket.

The red leapt up into the air but had such spin on it that it rolled a few inches back into the pocked, which would have been unusual enough by itself.

WOW!

However, the white ball jumped over the pack of reds, rolled into the jaw of the middle pocket before rolling all the way along the cushion to drop into the bottom right pocket.
