**Marc Bittar**, better known by the stage name **Markobi**, is a French close-up/card [magician](/source/Magic_(illusion)). He won the world championship for magic in 2022 at the [FISM](/source/FISM) World Championship of Magic convention in [Quebec City, Canada](/source/Quebec_City,_Canada).[1][2][3] He is the second French person to have won the "queen" title, for card magic, since Jean-Jacques Sanvert in 1979.

Markobi's routines have a "messy and uncontrolled" style that are evocative of [Lennart Green](/source/Lennart_Green).[4] Bittar has discussed his own style, saying "I like to create discrepancies, to cover the tracks. And if I can do it with a touch of humor, I do it."[5]

He was a Golden Buzzer Winner in 2023 in *[France's Got Talent](/source/La_France_a_un_incroyable_talent)*.[6] In 2024 he appeared on the television show *[Fool Us](/source/Penn_%26_Teller:_Fool_Us)* with [Penn & Teller](/source/Penn_%26_Teller) and won the Fool Us trophy.[7]
