YIL that the world’s biggest magic competition is held in Québec! It’s run by the FISM (Fédération Internationale de Sociétés Magiques) and over 100 professional rabbit-pullers-out-of-hatters compete in eight different categories each year.
This is Markobi, this year’s winner in the card-magic category. He’s FFF** but the routine is in English (and volume up, because part of the scoring is based on the patter script, and he’s very funny):
FWIW, not a magician but I think pulling a squished Kit-Kat from your pocket and offering it to one of the close-up observers as a diversion is genius.

Gotta show this to Daniel.
I hope he’ll enjoy it! Does he still do magic? If he likes this one, one of my friends turned me on to Lennart Green, who may be part of Markobi’s inspiration. You can find Lennart on YouTube, he’s also funny and an amazing card manipulator.
That was really fun. Thanks.
