I didn't notice that during the match, but imo that's a sharking move. The main shark is the head turning back and forth as he's about to shoot, the case fiddling is just his excuse for the head turn.

Any experienced player knows when he's in the player's line of sight and should try to remain still if he can't move out of the line of sight.
That he jumped out of his chair so quickly after the miss supports the notion that he was fully aware of what was going on.
You can only shark yourself. These are supposedly professional players, and should be able to "block out" any distractions. If they can't do that, then they are not very good professionals, imo. In the 'old days' (1950s-1970s) people sharked all the time. It never bothered the real players...it should be the same with today's players.

At what time does the move take place, so we don't watch an hour and a half for a move?

I do not discount the idea that it was a shark attempt. However it was futile on that shot. Look at Ko's head during the fidgeting and you will see he has already found his line and is totally focused on the cue ball until it has hopped, then he looks up towards the object ball.
I think this one is worse than the jumpshot because on the jumpshot you are looking downward to the table with an upright stance. It is unlikely Ko could see him messing with the case. At 36:30 Ko & the camera are facing directly at Karl check this out

What do you think of this one.
Lol
That was snaky move, looked like he was masturbating his case
Few minutes after that he also fidgeted and moved his fingers when Chang or Ko was shooting
Which is why he is known as "Ball Cleaner" for trying to shark Efren at last year W9B when he was endlessly cleaning balls
