Markobi's routines have a "messy and uncontrolled" style that are evocative of 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.[6] In 2024 he appeared on the television show Fool Us with Penn & Teller and won the Fool Us trophy.[7]
