Efren "Bata" Reyes demonstrates his superhuman precision in managing elastic collisions. It may look like luck but he does this sort of thing consistently. I've seen one that's even more amazing but have lost track of it.

Here's another good one.



The clip I can't find is similar but the ball he uses for deflection is also moving.
