The 26-year-old Kelantanese whose real name is Mohamad Sofian Abdullah defeated two other content creators, Brandon from the United Kingdom and Eva from the Netherlands.
The challenge, which was organised by American Internet personality Zack King, required all three contestants to produce a magic video within 72 hours.
"I am really grateful. My feet are shaking right now, thank you so much," Sofyank said briefly after he was announced as the winner.
The contestants were also required to compete for their filming and editing equipment.
Sofyank who had his hands handcuffed for 30 minutes as "punishment" awed the judges, which also include Mythbusters personality and special effect designer Adam Savage, VFX artist and engineer, Wren and Kelli Erdman, an American content creator, with his visual effects.
"I love that video so much. Unlike these guys, I don't know where you are going with it.
"But I was on the edge of my seat waiting for what is going to happen next and the cake thing, blew my mind," said Kelli said, while commenting on Sofyank video.
SofyanK often amazes viewers with his creative videos, some of which even include well-known figures.
Among them include Paul Ruud (Ant-Man) and Jonathan Majors (Kang The Conqueror).
He once garnered worldwide fame when renowned actor Will Smith reposted a video he edited.
