Zach King is an American digital creator known for visual illusions and editing-driven “magic” that makes everyday scenes feel impossible. His public online career began in 2008, when he started publishing video-editing tutorials and VFX experiments under the “Final Cut King” banner, building an audience around filmmaking technique and storytelling. Over time, that technical foundation evolved into a signature format: short, punchy narratives built to land a clean surprise at the end.

His breakout moment arrived in 2013 with his “magic vines,” ultra-short clips that looked like a single take but relied on careful planning, camera work, and post-production. From there he scaled the concept across TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube, packaging “digital magic” into fast micro-stories that stay family-friendly while still feeling cinematic. In 2022, one of his TikTok videos was recognized by the official record-keeping body as the platform’s most-viewed video, further cementing his influence in short-form VFX storytelling.

He has also partnered with major internet creators across formats. He worked with Dude Perfect on trick-shot–style illusion content, and with Mark Rober on a video that blends comedic engineering energy with cinematic effects. In the world of large YouTube creator events, he competed in MrBeast’s Creator Games 3 alongside names like Logan Paul, Bella Poarch, ZHC, Quackity, and Larray, bringing his edit-based storytelling into a competitive creator arena. He has also appeared in creator discussions with figures such as Ryan Trahan, Michelle Khare, Cleo Abram, and Yes Theory, sharing how he builds ideas from concept to final cut.
