How Zach King makes his videos

Zach King plans each trick like a short film. A typical video:

  • starts from one simple idea, such as a drink pouring out of a phone;
  • is storyboarded shot by shot so the cut lands at the right moment;
  • is filmed with a locked camera so the edit is invisible;
  • uses compositing and practical props, not just effects;
  • ends with a quick reveal and a loop that makes people watch again.

That is why many clips look like real magic. He has said the best tricks feel simple to the viewer but take hours or days to film.

Why Zach King's audience is so large

Three things explain his reach. First, his videos need no language: a trick works the same in Brazil, India or Japan, so the audience is global. Second, each clip is short and ends with a surprise, which makes viewers rewatch and share it. Third, he moved early to each new short-video app, from Vine to Instagram to TikTok, and brought his style with him.

That global, family-friendly reach is why brands use him for launches. It also explains the low Instagram engagement rate: very large accounts with casual followers often see well under 1% engagement.
