Did TikTok Creator Zach King really Die? Here’s what we know.
When it came to Vine, creator Zach King always did the most. In just six seconds, his videos would leave your mind blown.
The Oregon native is known for his “digital sleight of hand” videos, which he began posting on Vine in 2008. His videos, which garnered him a cult-like following, showcase trippy visual effects that look like magic. For example, Zach is seen jumping through car doors, bringing images to life, and conjuring up items out of nowhere.
Basically, it looks like he’s defying the laws of physics and then some. But the truth is, he’s just a beast at editing videos.
And even though Vine is no more, Zach has continued to maintain his popularity and bring his “digital sleight of hand” videos to Instagram and TikTok, where they continue to fascinate audiences.
Zach has also created a number of short films during his career, like Jedi Kitten. In 2013, YouTube named him as one of the 25 most promising young filmmakers in America.
