IMAGINE a ship captain getting seasick on a clear, cloudless day.

Suddenly, it was no longer easy saying nice words for Efren "Bata" Reyes.

On Saturday night, when they re-enacted the scene of his elevation to the Billiards Congress of American Hall of Fame, The Magician ran out of rabbits to pull off his hat.

His biggest night of the year became a concert of agony.

Bata Reyes' championship battle against Mika Immonen for the First Philippine Open 9-Ball title turned into a moment of untruth for the lovable billiards legend.
