i want to know how they do this without using the cushion i have seen this used in many trick shots please can anyone help

It's called a masse shot. You have to hit down on the cue ball with either left or right english. Hitting it off center causes it to squirt out the opposite way, and then the spin takes over causing it to curve back. It's just a matter of getting enough spin on the cue ball relative to it's forward speed.

For extreme masse's, your cue stick will almost be perpendicular to the table. You have to stroke pretty fast to get the spin on the cue ball. Ask the table owner's permission first because you could damage the cloth.
