He is remembered today for his youtube video, showing his fantastic, almost unbelievable bowling trick shots. To see it, search youtube for "Bowling Tricks with Andy Varipapa (1948)." His advice to the nation's 18 million amateur bowlers: The approach is the most important thing, four even steps with no sudden stop when the ball is released (though he himself, an exception to his own rules, takes five); the arm should swing up as if the bowler were throwing it up to shake hands with someone; the eyes should not be on the pins but on a point at the foul line where the ball will first touch. But there is one thing more: "Varipapa is rhythmical . . . that's why he's the greatest." Andy Varipapa was considered to be "the greatest one-man bowling show on Earth." He would perform fantastic trick shots, sometimes rolling two bowling balls at once that would collide together and then hit the ten pens. Sometimes the balls would hit each other, then hit the gutters and then bounce back and hit the pins. Andy was more comfortable rolling two balls at once then most people are rolling one. Varipapa said, "I can make a bowling ball do anything, but talk." In 1934 he made "Strikes and Spares" the first of his 26 movie shorts. In 1981, at the age of 89 Andy appeared on the TV show "That's Incredible" demonstrating his trick shots.
