Welcome to Magic Stream Homegrown, a platform dedicated to independent creators. Every piece you see is crafted, filmed, and edited by the artist. Here, production quality takes a backseat while the magic remains the star.

To kick off our Homegrown series, we present LIT by Brad Adams.

With LIT, transform permanent ink into ANY word using a familiar item: a lighter. Step away from traditional magician’s tools and captivate your audience with this unique approach.

Picture this: you mark a lighter with a sharpie, and with just a few shakes, those lines transform into the word: LIT. This tutorial provides in-depth guidance on creating this device and adapting the gimmick for any word.

LIT embodies the phrase “Packs small, plays big.” With a standard lighter in hand, you’ll leave spectators questioning their own perceptions with this stunning visual illusion.
