The bumbling, disorganized schtick is so impressive. This guy is on a whole different level from other magicians. Absolutely brilliant in technique and showmanship.

The Kit Kat part is so good for magicians because they see the indent in his pocket and assume it's another deck he will swap at some point. He's performing in front of a group of magicians so imagine their surprise when they pegged another deck in his pocket and he pulls out a candy bar.

[Johnsson]

If you watch it at a slower speed, you'll be fooled a bit slower.

This guy started from the bottom to achieve this level, he was doing Magic trick in all parcs of my city for a bit of money or food and now seeing that he went that far is astounding
Really great guy, round of applause for him

[SpinradN]

The contrast of what appears to be chaotic with the absolute control of the deck is what makes it completely magical.

[davidblake]

For me, a regular dude, to be impressed is one thing. It's quite another to have a crowd full of magicians explode in applause.

[natedetailscars]

The best impersonation of a "bad magician" to disarm everyone and run a masterclass under their noses. So good.

[AutPen]

The timing and the body language of that final reveal is that of someone that is an absolute BOSS.

[Mainevent]

Catching the "move" on the final queen, only to have him completely stun you when he reveals his hand is just utter brilliance knowing who he is performing in front of. The roar of the crowd when he shows both his hands before the final queen is something that must have sent chills up his spine knowing how long he has practiced this routine. As an amateur card magician, just awesome to watch!

What I love about this, as a non-magician, nor magic appreciative, is the absolute positivy of the comments section. I enjoyed watching it, but this is one of those situations where not having knowledge of the thing you are watching reduces your a appreciation of how difficult it is. Reading your comments about how fantastic and difficult this is made me enjoy it more. So even though this was Markobi's masterclass, you should all take a bow for how brilliantly supportive and positive you are as a community.

Everything here is so brilliant and calculated that it hurts. This is so incredible, I'm mad at you. Markobi... sir.. you're already like..5 steps a head of everyone before you even set foot on stage. The handling.... the freaking handling... and you just.. right in front of everyone. This was beautiful to watch and experience. Bravo, sir... This is a tour-de-force in misdirection and card handling.

[Burrell]

Just absolutely spectacular. Lennart Green must have been such an inspiration. Awesome to see his chaotic style of magic continue in a young magician with the same skill and showmanship. Very well done.

[Markobi]

I did this act on FOOL US - I will publish it the 7 April ⌚️ cheers !

[UnderGrundErnie]

The highest praise I can give is to say Markobi is like the Columbo of Magic, he bumbles through the routine and you think he's not getting then BAM, he's got you exactly where he wants you.

[spacedandy]

the fake palm is insane, and the acting is so well done, the way he looks at the person sitting on his right, it's like "I know you saw it, but what did you really see" right? Everybody knows he is too good to pull such a childish move but I bet very few thought he will show a simple empty hand as first move to the grand finale. It's very well put together.

[mitchcohen]

I remember seeing Lennart Green doing this type routine 30 years ago and I'm still blown away. It's unlike anything else. The brilliance in the chaos is breathtaking!

[williamstdog]

Designed intentionally to be messy, scatter-brained, non-linear, anti-climactic, casually irreverent, grunge-style magic - that turns out to be SHEER BRILLIANCE, and a performance displaying skills that the great Richard Turner would be proud of no doubt 👏👏👏
Excellent performance!! 👍☺️🏆

[francescothemagician]

I was very blessed to share a dinner with this extremely humble and really down to earth guy. He showed me some incredible routine and wow he is a genius and the best part of the evening, was not discovering that he is a great magician, but that what you see is his true person. So so great

[masturbates]

The seeming chaos of this performance is so obviously, elegantly designed and deployed, I'm beyond words. Like Rowan Atkinson as Mr. Bean, it tastes a true master to perform an act in an amateurish way professionally. Beautiful work.

Ps noticed the no name chips, Canada represent 🤭

[LaserPrinterBW]

This routine will never get old and will be watched in 100 years from people with the same stunned faces. Well done!
