Andy Segal (born April 14, 1968), nicknamed “the Magic Man”, is a trick-shot pool champion from Huntington, New York. He began as a professional nine-ball player in the 1990s, and was a regular on the Camel Pro Billiard Tour before switching to trick-shot competition in 2002. A full-time pro player since 2007, Segal holds three world records (and is tied for a fourth) in artistic billiards. He is known for his television competition appearances on ESPN, and has won many such events, including Trick Shot Magic (2009, 2010 & 2014), the World Cup of Trick Shots (2006, 2008 & 2009), the WPA World Artistic Pool Championship (2007, 2011 & 2012), and the Masters Artistic Pool Championship (2005, 2007 & 2009). Segal also performs trick shot exhibitions all over the world, and in films and television.
In September 2003, Polish trick-shot artist Bogdan Wołkowski injured his arm and had to drop out of the ESPN Trick Shot Magic tournament in Baltimore, Maryland. Six days before the event, Matt Braun, promoter and producer of that event, called Segal and asked if he could fill the open spot. Segal agreed, and spent those 6 days coming up with trick shots to use against the veterans like the then two-time world champion Mike Massey. Segal won his first-round match against Stefano Pelinga of Italy. He moved on to 2001 world champion Charles Darling from Missouri. That match ended in a tie breaker; this requires both players to shoot the cue ball in an eight-cushion and land on or near a $100 bill; the closest player to the bill wins. Segal won, landing the cue ball about an inch away. In the finals, he ran up against Mike Massey, who handed him his only defeat and a second-place finish, in Segal’s first televised event.
Andy Segal’s first major win came in 2004 at the Northeast Championship, held at Shooter’s Billiards in Southington, Connecticut. Later that year, he won another 2004 Las Vegas Artistic Pool Championship (hosted in conjunction with the American Poolplayers Association’s National Team Championship). He also won the 2005, 2007, and 2009 Masters Artistic Pool Championship, held at the Super Billiards Expo in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania; and four WPA World Trick Shot Champion titles (2007, 2011, 2012, 2013). His first World Title in 2007 was in St. Petersburg, Russia at the Lider Club. He beat Poland national champion Luke Szywala in the semi-finals and Argentina champion Sebastian Giumelli in the finals. In 2011, the World Championship was held in Valley Forge, Pennsylvania, where he beat Romanian Gabi Visoiu in the semi-finals and fellow American Jamey Gray in the finals. He successfully defended his title in 2012 when he beat Canadian Nick Nikolaidis for his third world title.
