An American internet personality, filmmaker, and illusionist based in LA, Zach King is one of the top 25 most-followed people on TikTok.
He is best known for his "magic vines," digitally edited six-second videos to make viewers believe he is doing magic. He calls his videos "digital sleight of hand." Zach began his YouTube journey in 2008. He started posting his videos on Vine in 2013.
Born and raised in Portland, Oregon, Zach is of half-Chinese descent, one-quarter Austrian, and one-quarter Nicaraguan.

From that moment on, Zach began creating videos for his family. But all that changed when Zach was a freshman in college. One of his most ambitious videos, "Jedi Kittens," was viewed over a million times in less than 24 hours.
With this sudden viral success, Zach saw the opportunity to tell his unique stories to a wider audience.
