 Hey everybody, welcome back to another hocus pocus magic review. My name is David and this is raised from alchemy insiders What is raised raised is a color changing? Lighter effect. It's a color changing lighter effect. It is a beautiful transposition sure to blow your spectators away Let's watch the trailer All right, so that was raised that was alchemy insiders. That's Dallas Fustin and Jason Bird They have come together to create this really cool prop for you and so let's talk about it all right, so like I said, it is a color changing lighter effect as you saw from the commercial and Let's say you order it you order it. What are you gonna get in the box? You're gonna get a hardshell box. Okay hardshell box and then inside that you're gonna get all of the gimmicks for a red and Black color change on a miniature Bic lighter now you will have to provide your own Bic lighters You will not get a lighter in the mail a couple of reasons why you won't get a lighter in the mail. First of all It's a lighter. It's a lighter and I don't know if you've been to the post office recently But they don't allow you to mail things that are flammable and liquids So you got two strikes against you. You can't mail liquids can't mail things that can combust So you will be responsible to go and purchase your own red and black Lighter actually you'll have to get two more in addition to that They do sell them at the grocery store in like six packs So you will need to make that additional purchase in order to build your gimmick. All right, so is it what I thought? It's not what I thought You know sometimes when you're a magician and you watch a commercial like this You're trying to figure it out, you know like well What could it be and there's maybe a couple of things that you're like? Oh, it's probably this and you're you might be right, but When I watched it I was actually Backwards and I don't know how to tell you what I mean by that because then it would give it away But I thought what was happening and what was happening was backwards So it wasn't what I thought at all how the angles on this the angles are pretty good Pretty much what you see in the video is what you're gonna be able to do And this is gonna work great on camera. Okay great on camera effect great video effect great YouTube effect Street magic wise and live in person You're probably gonna want to have your people like right in front of you Okay, you don't really want anybody on sides and backs. This is a very fast very visual very instant change Okay, there isn't a lot of time to like stop and examine and pass it around So you're probably gonna want to have your audience your main audience in front of you that said it's not inspectable Okay, it's not inspectable before or after so I wouldn't even say you could borrow this from someone Unless you felt you were gonna get the right exact lighter to borrow and then do a switch like I wouldn't even bother like you should bring this out At the beginning of another trick that uses a lighter, you know This isn't your whole trick in other words You're not gonna do just this trick and say thank you good night Like you're gonna do this in connection with a trick that you normally do that involves a lighter Like maybe a candle routine, you know, you bring your lighter out You do a color change and then you go in your candle routine. So you want to hit this beat and move on Let's see overall quality and production value of the video itself When you get this you're gonna get the download code the download code will take you out To a page on the alchemy insiders website and you'll have access to about six different YouTube videos all in all all the videos together. It's about 32 minutes long. Okay, 32 minutes It's it's pretty it's kind of homemade. They do film each other one at a time, which is nice So that that person that's on camera is always miked of that 32 minutes like most of it is gimmick construction Okay, most of the video like three-quarters of it is gonna be gimmick construction So that is all gonna be like, you know hand level Looking at all the different things that you're gonna need arts and crafts stuff But you're gonna get and they're gonna be patient with you You're they're gonna go through it slow enough that you can watch it through and I would just suggest here's Here's my suggestion. You're gonna you're gonna pick this up Watch the tutorial all the way through and then go back and build it Okay, there are some things that they mentioned at the end that I think would serve you well if you did those things first before you Start it. Okay, so just just know that going in watch it all the way through first get your materials together And I think you'll be better prepared to build it on the fly I will also add that it kind of looks messy while they're building it You're thinking oh, this is gonna be a really messy looking prop, but in the end, it's totally clean It's totally clean. It looks great. Looks just like a lighter Looks like how a lighter should okay, so don't worry about that So you make everything as far as practice goes and set up and reset You know, I would say the practice on it the gimmick's gonna do all the work for you Like once you build this gimmick, it's literally self-working. It'll do everything for you You're not gonna need to learn any slides or anything like that You could get you could get this into position right away Like as soon as you lift it out of your pocket It could be good to go So if I'm gonna say good things about this, it's a nice visual clean transposition And if you're gonna add this into some of your other effects that use a lighter It's gonna fit in seamlessly Negative, so if I'm gonna say anything negative about this It's 25 bucks, 25 bucks isn't bad But like I said, $25 you're mostly paying for the instruction They are giving you gimmicks They are giving you gimmicks and that is that's good They could have packed it flatter though, you don't really need the box You don't need a big box if there's nothing in it But a couple of, you know, arts and crafts items That's okay, that's good for shipping But I don't want you to see a box and then open it up and get surprised And like, ah, so again, there's no lighter You're not getting a lighter You're not getting a lighter You're not getting those materials So you're gonna need your, you bring your own arts and crafts stuff to the party Okay, all the things that you've normally used to build gimmicks and gaffes You're gonna need all that back I will say a plus side on that, a plus side on that In arts and crafts, I generally don't like cutting or using an exacto knife I don't like that part because that's the part where I feel like Man, if I cut this wrong, it's ruined You're not gonna do any cutting, okay? There's no cutting, there's no knife work So that's, you're good there So it's just regular arts and crafts You'll be able to build this in about 20 minutes And yeah, you'll be good to go So who I think this is for? Again, I think this is for people that already use a lighter in their routine Okay, you don't want to just use this as your standalone trick Like, hey, you want to see me change the color of a lighter? Bang, right? So this should go in with something else I mean, you could probably even do this in a parlor setting Parlor setting where you're doing a candle trick Or you're lighting flash string on fire or flash paper Definitely pick this up Add a little piece of spark Ah, to your magic routine And I think it's really gonna turn some heads Alright, so that was raised from Alchemy Insiders Which is Dallas Fustin, Jason Bird Definitely head on down to their website, check it out If you want to purchase this for yourself You're gonna find it at hocus-pocus.com I want to thank Hocus Pocus for allowing me to have this So I can do the review for you And I'll see you guys next time Thanks, bye
