Why it worked
The video works because it presents a visually appealing and seemingly complex effect, then immediately promises to reveal the simple steps to achieve it. This creates a strong curiosity gap and positions the creator as an expert providing valuable, actionable information. The 'before and after' nature of showing the effect first, then the tutorial, is highly engaging.
