David Blaine remains one of the most recognisable names in magic, although Wian van den Berg's tricks give him a decent run for his money.

Eat your heart out, Blaine, because South African magician Wian van den Berg is putting on quite a show these days.

The young SA’s Got Talent finalist has been wowing folks on social media this week, showing off the array of tricks tucked up his sleeve.

As reported by SAPeople, he was first inspired to perform magic after watching a magician on Ellen:

According to his bio on Facebook, [Van den Berg] is “considered to be the best magician there is by at least 3 people”.

Clearly, more than three people must think he’s good at what he does, as his latest video has racked up more than 217 000 views at the time of writing.

He took his tricks to the streets and beaches of South Africa, and there was plenty of gasping:

Boom – my mind is blown.

Is it really magic? Witchcraft? David Blaine’s younger self that’s travelled to the future?
