The title had me mislead quite heavily, a better one would be “Zach King Breaks Down His Favourite Props”. I’m afraid I’m going to have to dislike for a misleading title.
*[EDIT: They changed the title form **_”Zach King Breaks Down His Best Magic Tricks”_** to **_”Inside Zach King’s Illusion Prop Studio”,_** and thus I’ll remove my dislike]*

Relying on cameras kills the magic of, well, magic. I prefer old fashioned illusion, sleight of hand and stuff like that, something that works just as well in real life as it does on camera. At this point it’s almost no different than “regular” CGI. The stuff he does is still fun and impressive in it’s own right, but not my cup of tea, I’m afraid. It’s the same stuff that was used in making of Lord of The Rings and Hobbit series.

  Most people who click on the video know who Zach King is, so they’ll know the type of magic he does whether or not it aligns with your idea of magic.

  @Arjun Kumar Oh, look, they changed the title from “Zach King Breaks Down His Best Magic Tricks” to “Inside Zach King’s Illusion Prop Studio”. Would people know who he is? I didn’t, I’m subscribed to this channel for a variety of things. Was the first title heavily misleading? Yes. Is this one better? Yes.

LAVISHLY DEMURE

Las Vegas Aces superstar A’ja Wilson shows us what’s inside her Labubu-laden Louis Vuitton bag. The WNBA MVP always carries two pairs of glasses, depending on what the occasion calls for, and pulls out her favorite snack, a bag of Sour Patch Kids. The most meaningful item in A’ja’s bag is her late grandmother’s coin purse, which she now uses to carry her ID cards. “I don’t put coins in it because my heart’s in it.”
