Vine trickster hailed for his mind-bending six-second illusions using a computer - but is it magic?
A Vine filmmaker has been hailed as 'putting David Blaine to shame' with expertly edited six-second videos showing him accomplishing apparently impossible feats.
Zach King's incredible video shorts are fast making him a social media sensation, with his Twitter feed already boasting nearly 15,000 followers.
In one he is seen pulling a live kitten from still images on a monitor, another shows him flicking the icons from his iPhone onto a table, while in a third he puts a real dollar bill onto his screen, copy and past it a couple of times, and pull out three.

The rapidly rising Vine star's videos all showcase his sharp skills with creative editing, with the post-production magic making it seem like he is achieving the impossible.
Such is his growing reputation, Rudimental, the UK-based pop group, have even asked the Los Angeles, California-based trickster if he can work his Vine magic for them next time they're in the U.S.

Laura Vitto wrote of his work on Mashable: 'Vine star and filmmaker Zach King may not perform magic in the traditional sense, but his expertly-edited six-second videos could put David Blaine to shame.
'The Vine star's absorbing videos show off his sharp editing skills. A bit of post-production magic lets King pull a kitten from a desktop photo, pour Nerds candies from his laptop and jump through walls.
'In a sea of special-effects Vine videos, King's perplexing clips keep us hooked with their simplicity. That, and their great sense of humor.'
