Marc Bittar, winner of the 2022 World Magic Championship

Marc Bittar, alias Markobi, is a 28-year-old self-taught magician who learned magic on the street. Born in Strasbourg to a Syrian mother and a Lebanese father, he began his apprenticeship when he returned to the region during the summers of his childhood. Specialised in card tricks, the young man breaks the codes of the world of magic through humour, and surprises the greatest juries, such as the jury of the International Federation of Magic Societies 2022 (the equivalent of the Olympic Games of magic). Marc Bittar was then a member of the French magic team, and was crowned world champion in his category: card tricks.
