Other act are funny because it's what the media/tv telling us what is funny. But this dude is a genius Let's talk about other things bc the magic is pure
@@rvkit2873 You can simultaneously see and hear him react a couple times in the video. It's coming from someone else's mic, so it would have to be someone on stage anyway
P&T's reaction to the candy bar is so good, because you know that they clocked that shape in his pocket as a second deck the moment they saw him. Markobi is a real magician's magician.
The best thing about the "candy bar" is that it looks like a deck of cards in his pocket. Any magician would expect him to be carrying a second deck for a deck switch, so when he reveals it's actually just chocolate, Penn and Teller burst into laughter.
@@AntonAdelson imo Penn and Teller would appreciate this even more since they're masters at misdirecting you even though you know what to look for. Check out their take on the classic cup and balls trick with clear plastic cups. You can see the sleight of hand as it happens, but it's still absolutely magical.
@@AntonAdelson Not necessarily, although possible. He also does the fake sleight of hand with the empty hand on his chin. After all, the routine was designed to first and foremost impress and entertain magicians (at FISM, not P&T), not a regular audience.
He does a switch later at 4:18. The whole act is very clever: He draws over the signature so that he can easily forge signed cards. Then halfay in the trick he does this switch. Then the "pause" is just misdirection, to make you forget about what happened. The fact that some seemingly random cards are face up, plus that he flips the kings and another random card, makes you think it's a normal deck, and marries well with the chaotic style. But the forged signed cards were here since this instant, and there is just no way you can trace it back if you're seeing it the first (or 5th) time because of all the chaos, even if the switch itself is not really hidden.
@@twinklesprinkle1318 Yep, that's more or less exactly what I wrote in my another comment here! But you gave a lot more details! Thank you! This whole thing is like 10 minutes of pure non-stop misdirection master-class!
@@Pandor18 Oh absolutely, same excellence as Shin Lim, Dani Daortiz, Asi Wind, and probably Mario Lopez also has to be mentioned here. I fucking love magic!
Unless I am mistaken, apart from Richard Turner's act, this is the only other close-up magic act in which they immediately went to the 'you fooled us' verdict.. without engaging in all the coded banter which Penn does post the act.
@@sailaabyou are indeed mistaken and you should go watch the dani daoritz fool us as long with this performance the 2 best magicians ever on fool us and 2 of the best magicians alive. what an awesome little homage to dani with the "it's your life" line bravo
the two best performances ever on fool us giving tribute to each other makes me so happy. the smile on my face when he said it's your life was ear to ear. great recognize great.
i'm not sure but i think most of those cards and probably all on the side close to penn where kings signed like brook normally does and his 'squiggle' and he's good at just showing the few that aren't etc. it looks like the card penn initially choose was also a king signed card as he lays it down for a split second.. i'm probably totally wrong haha
@@serloinz Considering this is the same routine he did at FISM, penn and teller has prob studied that video 100 times and not figured it out. So probably it is not as easy as a bunch of same cards.
@@mullvaden83 well maybe it's a case of overlooking the simplest answer ..most of what he did would be so much easier if all (except a select few) were signed kings. Again i have no idea.. just a though
10 Seasons of Fool Us and I have never seen Teller break character. He was so shocked by this trick that he actually shouted. There has been a few card tricks that really got them good but judging by Tellers reaction this was by far the best.
Not the first time. I remember once, with a similar close-up card trick like this one, Penn & Teller barely left the stage before deciding they were fooled, immediately turned around and announced it, never made it back to their seats 😅 I think it was Richard Turner?
I always think in your fism act what happen if spectator change the card in the last part. And boom this happen in fool us. Markobi you are crazy. Thanks for show. Keep going you are the one of the best magician in the world.
Penn and Teller are literal masters at slight-of-hand. Penn was studiously watching your every move and couldn't figure it out. Teller was amazed time after time. Fantastic job Markobi, thank you and congratulations!
Love that he broke teller. Full belly laugh. Saw this at the worlds is just as baffling now. The skill required to make something so sophisticated look so shoddy is immense. Of course and it still work Bravo sir.
Ok, so you sat up on stage with Penn and Teller, did up close card magic, and by all accounts, had them laughing, smiling and bewildered like little school kids seeing magic for the first time! ABSOLUTELY Brilliant performance! The "World Champion" label fits you well!
As someone who you would call a casual magic enjoyer, Markobi and this routine has to be favorite. It gives the illusion that it's incredibly easy and I could do it. But from what I've learned from other people, this is really technical and takes years to master. Most of us let our guards down the moment we see or hear him. What I like about this whole concept is that it proves a great saying and it goes: "looks can be deceiving". Thank you, champ, for your magic. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.
Having seen this at FISM, it blew my mind then, and still does. But, to have Penn switch on you, and still land the fish... my oh my, even better :) Literally, world class!!
I longed for this day ever since I saw your FISM act and it was just as magnificent as I thought it would be. Your style and your skill is absolute perfection. I can watch this act a million times and never get bored of it
J'ai saigné youtube à le regarder encore et encore jusqu'à ses indispensables conseils de vie que j'utilise dans mon travail de médecin urgentiste. Bravo à toi pour ta routine et vivement ta prochaine visite à Bordeaux!?
it is so refreshing that you didnt give away the result in the title. i understand why most people do. but its much more enjoyable when you don't. This act was incredible. Also i loved that comment "can I change cards" "its your life"
ive watched this routine many times and it never fails to entertain and blow my mind but despite the insane level of skill in this act the best moment by far was when he said its your life and waved to dani daoritz.
I was hoping you would go to fool us, I was hoping you would show off my favorite routine ive seen like 20 times now, I was hoping you would win... Boy this is the best day of my week
It’s one of those things where you know what he has to be doing, but it’s not possible, so either he is doing something impossible, or he’s not doing what it looks like he is doing. Magic.
@@azzaKaiapoi That's exactly it. Him being nonchalant with the cards and seemingly having them turn over at random is what makes the trick what it is and lulls you away from the explanation. If he was being meticulous with the cards and the packets, you'd immediately think that the deck wasn't genuine.
This is what the show is about. An act so good and original that Penn and Teller are totally captive and genuinely amazed by magic like a kid seeing it for the first time.
I saw the original FISM routine and it still holds up as one of the greatest feats of table card magic I’ve ever seen. He’s a phenom. Much respect mon homme
I know enough about magic to understand a lot of how the tricks are done. They're still amazingly executed but you respect the craft because you know how hard it is to master. Sometimes, though, people like Mark come along and make you question absolutely everything you know about magic. The man is a genius. The whole act is so smart and well crafted it's impossible to not simply get lost in the spectacle and forget to analyse his techniques. Just, mind blowingly good.
Being the world champion of magic is clearly not a joke. Amazing. Been waiting for this and I'm so happy for all those who are seeing this for the first time. It's awesome isn't it. Welcome to the Markotrain
Chaotic rutines are sooooooo hard to pull it out and make them work, not to mention, having two very experienced magicians right next to you watching. Damn!
The deck switch at 4:18 is so smartly done 😊 in the previous pack, markobi was showing that all the cards were different, then switched with a pack that contains few cards side up and lot of signed cards…but how Markobi managed to put the remaining 3 K at the position 5 of each pack in such a chaotic way is simply amazing!
@@Conqoo you mean when Markobi reveal the signed king of clubs? I don't think there is any switch. My guess is that the switched deck contains only pre-signed KC except for the few cards that have been displayed face up on purpose and the bottom card. Therefore, Penn could have selected any face down card and it would have been a KC. To confirm my theory: 1. the card displayed by Markobi is clearly not the same as the one that Brooke and Markobi signed. 2. After the deck switch I didn't see any move that are reversing the orientation of cards, therefore some cards were already face up in the switched deck. 3. Many actions/elements have been added by Markobi after the deck switch. This is so smart as usually the trick happens right after the switch. In this case the effect happened over 3 minutes after the switch. People already have forgotten that a card switch happened or didn't even linked the 4:18 move as a deck switch opportunity but rather an effect showing the transformation of a deck of cards into a single one.
Of course, "K" was a forced card and more "K" cards were described - the description of the first "K" is not the same as the description "K" at the end. The "awkwardness" was supposed to convince that the cards were different. It is a good trick that requires an obedient audience, which Penn and Teller are - they never look at cards if they are not invited. The trophy had to be handed over because Penn guessing deck replacement. However, this trick does not require such a switch - the magician made several tricks "from his pocket" in advance to convince the audience of this possibility. The magician is a very knowledgeable man and deserves the trophy.
I had the chance to met him in 2021 at the French Magicians Convention (FFAP). He's a really nice and chill guy. Congrats for your trophy. On est fier d'avoir un magicien comme toi :)
After all of these years, you'd think there couldn't be any more great magicians that haven't been on the show yet. And still, they manage to find some time and time again. 🙂
WOOW WOOW man, what a performance. The original one blows me away. This one blow me even more, especially when Penn actually changes his mind. I think this is the most time I wanted Penn to comment on you. But unfortunately, he didn't. Bravo and well-done dude. Respect from Oman.
Ya know, there are some tricks I want to learn how they were done, but this? I never wanna know how this was done, so each time I rewatch it I am amazed again and again.
So good, Lennart Green is preemptively rolling over in his grave. Just an astonishing performance. The controls and misdirection are just at the tip top of the trade. Bravo, Mark! 👏👏👏
Yes he very much is, I’m aware. I must have misspelled preemptively and my phone thought that I was trying to say preeminently. Appreciate you for pointing that out so much. All fixed now. 🫡
I guess his "uncle" (which is "not realy his uncle, it's for the script") like the kudos of this FISM act feom markobi 🎉 You know the only that shows him "how to find kings" 😂 My only question is : how much geeky reference/kudos to other closeup magician is there here in front of us, 5 ? More ?
Huge number. It's so well written, the character also serves the process. This FISM prize rewards intelligent writing, exceptional technique and daring. An important detail, for us French: it's particularly pleasing to finally see a card trick perfectly filmed on TV, something we don't know how to do in France. It really highlights the quality and complexity of the routine. Fun fact: in France, no one picks from the bag of chips, whereas everyone is more relaxed and playful here.
OMG! Some of the tricks I guessed when I saw his performance at FISM were completely negated by Penn's change. Thank you for showing me a great performance. [DeepL]
The real magic was watching Teller being so entertained. What a great routine!
He actually has an audible gasp.
This was so bad. You just scribbled on a bunch of cards. Amateur.
This show is so bad without Alyson
Trash
Other act are funny because it's what the media/tv telling us what is funny. But this dude is a genius
Let's talk about other things bc the magic is pure
7:44
It's actually surprising they have not already watched the act in his two prior performances on FISM and France Got Talent
"This is the happiest day of my week!", the best comment ever, after receiving a fool us trophy😁🤣😂.
He's been holding that face to pull this one off for the whole time. Perfect ending!
He says "Probably the best day of my week". You know, just in case he wins a better trophy 😂
OMG. Ridiculous talent.
You’ve been a lot to ask to see my FISM act in front of Penn & Teller : here we are
c'était pas dans "le bonheur est dans le prêt" ?
Can’t wait !!!
That was great!
@@RonaldoMessinabanquier ! 😂

You know it's an absolutey amazing card trick when you not only see but HEAR Teller's reaction!

Same at the end, with the hand in front of the mouth, supposed to hide the card lol
One of the best routines I have ever seen. Acting like a bumbling fool all the while in total control. Absolutely amazing. 😂😂😂❤❤❤

He is a master !!!
@@Markobi1 Stay bumble!
Lennart Greene approves this routine :)
Google Juan Tamariz. I thought this style looked familiar and then he shouted out Dani and I knew for sure.
The best thing about the "candy bar" is that it looks like a deck of cards in his pocket. Any magician would expect him to be carrying a second deck for a deck switch, so when he reveals it's actually just chocolate, Penn and Teller burst into laughter.

Exactly my thoughts, I'm still laughing. Reminded me a bit of Lennart Green as well. Amazing deadpan delivery.
I think he also did a "I don care" when Penn swap cards? Saw a few references I think.
Probably both are in the top 3 Fool Us performers
@@Pandor18 Oh absolutely, same excellence as Shin Lim, Dani Daortiz, Asi Wind, and probably Mario Lopez also has to be mentioned here. I fucking love magic!
References?... He literally waved and said hi Dani
No intro video, no small talk with Brooke, and a freakishly killer routine, you flipped Fool Us upside down! Huge fan, keep it up Markobi!
Everything about him is a distraction. Brilliant!
Teller is renowned for his appreciation/understanding of close up card magic. You can see here that he LOVES your performance. Well done friend.
And they don't get invited on stage very often 😛
He is still in character after getting the trophy. His discipline is just amazing.
Prestige level of commitment.
No character here man. I’ve seen him at conventions, he’s like that all the time.

That was a pleasure to watch. He is sooo good.
So good, Lennart Green is preemptively rolling over in his grave. Just an astonishing performance. The controls and misdirection are just at the tip top of the trade. Bravo, Mark! 👏👏👏
Lennart Green is still very much alive in my knowledge.
Yes he very much is, I’m aware. I must have misspelled preemptively and my phone thought that I was trying to say preeminently. Appreciate you for pointing that out so much. All fixed now. 🫡
Indeed. Markobi's card handling had many allusions to Lennart Green. Very enjoyable.
@@neilwoller He’s got all that LG energy and a bag of chips, lol 😝
I guess his "uncle" (which is "not realy his uncle, it's for the script") like the kudos of this FISM act feom markobi 🎉 You know the only that shows him "how to find kings" 😂 My only question is : how much geeky reference/kudos to other closeup magician is there here in front of us, 5 ? More ?
OMG! FISM champion Markobi on Fool Us! can't be more excited about this.
Cheers
Brilliant, absolutely flawless and amazing. I even watch in slow and can not see any slides or slights. You are amazing.
Without a doubt, one of the most unique and entertaining routines I have ever witnessed! Bravo, Markobi Such deadly slight of hand!
I was just watching some of your RUclips vids last night and here you are this morning. Amazing. And you're not even Spanish
🔥🔥

That was one of the best routines I have seen in a long long time!!! I've watched it 5 times already
Bravo. Astounding every time I see it. 👏👏👏
Huge number. It's so well written, the character also serves the process. This FISM prize rewards intelligent writing, exceptional technique and daring.
An important detail, for us French: it's particularly pleasing to finally see a card trick perfectly filmed on TV, something we don't know how to do in France. It really highlights the quality and complexity of the routine.
Fun fact: in France, no one picks from the bag of chips, whereas everyone is more relaxed and playful here.
Let's go ! 🤩
Go go go !🎉
Magnificent! Bravo!! 🎉
You are fabulous! Love your character! Love the routine!
Habibi bhebak, i love my libanese friend Marko, libanon is proud of you and your Big hair
🙏
The FISM genius doing the routine in front of Penn &Teller.
They knew the trophy was comming so they enjoyed the act. Amazing as always Markobi.
This is the greatest trick I've seen on this show, I've been watching for YEARS.
Been waiting for this for so long! Nice job!
OMG!
Some of the tricks I guessed when I saw his performance at FISM were completely negated by Penn's change.
Thank you for showing me a great performance.

Je suis cet homme sur les réseaux depuis presque ses débuts, je trouve ça impressionnant d'avoir pu observer son évolution ! Félicitations Mark !
Such a nice performance. Impressed every time i see it.
Je ne m'en lasse pas et j'ai encore pris une nouvelle claque avec le changement subit de la dernière carte.🤯
Grande classe !!!! 👏👏👏🙏👍
