What are some good proposition shots?

Many are described and demonstrated on on Vol. V of the Video Encyclopedia of Pool Shots (VEPS). Here’s one involving throw of a frozen ball down a rail (which is described and illustrated in “VEPS GEMS – Part XVII: Trick and Proposition Shots” – BD, May, 2011):

NV B.94 – Cross-side double-kiss bank of frozen ball

Other famous proposition shots can be found in the Mike Masséy trick shot collection video.
