probably one of the scammier sponsors you've done - but i respect that you need to make money. (i feel its probably scammy cause general vibes but also these apps usually take all kinds of personal data, thats how they're able to give you money)
I've been a Mistplay fan for a while so I was like "... oh WAIT I DIDN'T THINK OF THAT" (the taking a bunch of personal data thing) so I checked and on my Android phone it asks for Camera and Location and apparently it's been working for me without me granting permission to those. That's on the app info screen, dunno if there's anything I'm missing...? But yeah I think the games just pay them to be promoted. And so a lot of the games are ones that are full of ads but enough aren't that I've found plenty to play and I have gotten google play credit from them.
@@rin-eriI mean I always figured that it's probably money laundering. Let me explain: You know all those scams that get people to buy gift cards to pay for their computer "to be fixed" or whatever, well what actually happens is that those gift cards are then sold on at a fraction of the price of their face value. Now I'm not saying that mistplay buy their gift cards from the websites that sell gift cards like this, and buying these gift cards isn't illegal (I think...) but I always wondered why they payout gift cards and not just actual money. I mean it only makes sense if you get the gift cards for a reduced price right? I dunno, I'd just never feel comfortable with it thinking that there's a chance that the gift card only exists because someone's granny was scammed
Wow, Karen. You always put out high quality videos. But this video feels extra special. The amount of work you put in the background, your outfits, the camera-angles (I can imagine that's its own thing with mirrored surfaces), the lighting, the editing, the music, the storytelling and the ending... is pure magic. Of course it's something to solve a puzzle like this itself. But you made the video as an piece of art even better.
I'm not a regular watcher, more of a pop in every few months kind of watcher, but this video captivated me so much! I just love all the extra editing and production that went into this!
The fact that I guessed all 3 puzzlers in the intro before they were revealed 😂 The cool things you do with the puzzles after they are put together really makes your channel a stand out. Pure Magic!
Karen's videos are always so engaging and comforting. This might be one of my favorite videos she's done, it's like magic. ;) She was my favorite RUclipsr of 2023 and there are no signs of that changing this year!
Yes. I was around when the puzzle was released (age 20). That was also in the time period when Transcendental Meditation (introduced by the Indian spiritualist, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) was hugely popular.
I suspect it also had to do quite a bit with what was going on world wide and the late 60s, from what I was told, had a decent amount of "reflection" with a bit of drug help.
Karen you rock!!! The positive vibe you give off is why I keep coming for more of your videos!!! I like the set you have used in this video it works very well,shiny silver lady! Keep 'em coming!
OMG Karen, this may be my all-time favorite video from you! You've really outdone yourself. First of all, the videography was gorgeous. It was a beautiful puzzle and you filmed it beautifully. (My favorite part was actually the shots in the dark!) Second, I was really digging the music. It was actually kind of lulling me to sleep (in a good way 😆). And finally, that ending joke was just perfect. Well done!
I generally like your videos - the right amount of quirky geek humour, quality video-editing and love for the art of jigsaws. In this one you absolutily nailed it. It must have been quite the effort to set the stage (mirror surfaces all around and coloured lighting). BTW: the description on the box definitely fits the time-period of late 60s, early 70s :p Now, I call upon my fellow viewers to use MAGIC to get you out of that puzzle again!
To see you having so much fun solving a solid colored puzzle 😅...when I think about your video solving the Ravensburger Krypt puzzle the first time (your first solid coloured puzzle) and how much agony you felt, haha! And now you are making them more difficult. Bravo, Karen! It is a lesson to never give up and keep trying and trying. I do hope you'll get rescued. 🤣 Maybe you need some MAGIC to help you out of it. Although you make a beautiful puzzle I have to say! 🥰
This may be the most beautifully-filmed puzzle video I've ever seen. The only other ones that are even in competition are your Lazels videos. I'm gushing so hard about this, thank you for this "magic"al work of art!!
All the different lighting brings out the *magic* in the puzzle. My favorite is at 19:44. Loved the ending!!😃 Beautiful but way too challenging for me.
Right! Then someone comes along and takes the puzzle apart, trapping Karen until it is completed again, with some new unfortunate soul uttering the spell and taking her place… 👻 Could take years…
Wow wow wow, solving a puzzle has never been more aesthetic! Doing this puzzle under the blue and pink lights, and low light was so beautiful! All the set up and lighting and everything just goes to show what an artist you are!
That was one of the Best Videos that I've seen in a while. BRAVO! Loved the music, lighting, theatrics, everything. 🎉 I do puzzles with my Dad (93) it helps keep him thinking and is very good for his hand mobility.
That was delightful -- it's clear you were having so much fun figuring out how to make video content in addition to sharing your love (and skill) of jigsaw puzzles. You seem to have the magic formula already on hand! Thank you for sharing your vision with us!
I will agree with everyone that this was a visually stunning video. Beautiful puzzle and great work on the production. Working the puzzle on the reflective surface was awesome!!
The mirror at the beginning had the exact three puzzlers I had in mind after each of your question. The editing and love put into this video was amazing!
Hi Karen!! Those colour shots on that puzzle were magic!!! I definitely would not try this one. I am only just getting over completing the brussel sprout puzzle I got for Christmas! Took me from 26th December to 7th February!!!!!
I love how much fun you’re having with vintage puzzles! I think you really did this puzzle justice with your set and video ideas - it was beautiful to watch. The color lighting was a superb idea.
Your puzzle videos are exceptional. This reflects on all the hard work and innovative ideas you have in the making of them. No wonder you were in the Guinness book of Records. May your subscribers grow and grow. You thoroughly deserve them.
I LOVED the intro 😂😂😂😂 Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the best RUclips puzzler of them all? ❤ Also, the giant burrito coment was hilariously 😂😂😂 I love you so much ❤
Oddly enough, the fact that the surface of the table is more reflecting than the puzzle makes the pieces stand out even more. And those lighting effects made it look absolutely gorgeous! It's like magic ❤
The part when you light up everything with colored lights was so beautiful, but then the dark and brigth shot came and it was magical. Like watching a scene of outer space
Awesome video, Karen! I have to wonder which lighting (or darkness) was your favorite from a puzzling perspective. The purple Karen working on a greenish/blueish puzzle was especially pleasing to my eye (20-end of solve). The pickup section was also so pretty :) Separate note, but the magic of your special effects at the end was out of this world!
I really enjoyed this puzzle and your FUN video from start to finish. Also, the puzzle itself as you said is beautiful. You put tons of work into this production and it paid off. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
This was pure magic. I truly love how you staged it all, with the lighting changes & especially the ending. Well done. 👌 I'd definitely give this puzzle a go, looked like fun.
I am quite often angry at other channels because it annoys me when they start to think what to say while already on camera or do things like hugely yawning…. THANK YOU for always putting an extra effort into your clips! The mirror puzzle is magic indeed- love the way you experimented with the different colours.
She is a really really good video editor and maker. Watched a ton of these videos the last weeks, and you feel the work and thought behind the videos. Its magic.

The mirror mirror on the wall joke was actually funny and wholesome in a really humble way.
Such a cute intro 💜💛
And super well edited!
+
Maybe if she had use the true quote "Magic mirror on the wall..." instead of "Mirror mirror on the wall..." she may had better results? :P
Came here to say this 👍
The extra effort on the staging and production for this video was definitely noticed and appreciated. Thanks Karen!
Yeah, Karen has a great director, herself!
Agreed. Definitely above and beyond.
@@TonyHammitt The power of self-direction!
When she brought out the colored lights, I thought that digital effects was not her thing...
Wow, Karen. You always put out high quality videos. But this video feels extra special.

That extra effort really elevates the video. This is my favorite solid color puzzle video yet!
Agreed!
She did some reflecting on her choices while doing a reflective puzzle on a reflective surface. 🤣
While the reflection reflected her reflection 😅
Reflection paradox lol
1:14 Karen really said: “My plans have been foiled.”
The silver on silver looks like a transparent puzzle
Edit: That ending was MAGIC!!
I'm not a regular watcher, more of a pop in every few months kind of watcher, but this video captivated me so much! I just love all the extra editing and production that went into this!
Same!
The fact that I guessed all 3 puzzlers in the intro before they were revealed 😂 The cool things you do with the puzzles after they are put together really makes your channel a stand out. Pure Magic!

Oh Karen, all you had to do was to ask "Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the funniest puzzler of them all?" 🙂
Yes. I was around when the puzzle was released (age 20). That was also in the time period when Transcendental Meditation (introduced by the Indian spiritualist, Maharishi Mahesh Yogi) was hugely popular.
I forgot about TM. The 70s were an awesome time to grow up in
I suspect it also had to do quite a bit with what was going on world wide and the late 60s, from what I was told, had a decent amount of "reflection" with a bit of drug help.

😂🤣😂🤣 I hope you managed to get out of your mirror puzzle, Karen! That was a lovely one to watch - keep being as funny and brilliant as you are🥰

No worries Karen! Thanks for getting it out
lol. I put this into Google translate. I am seriously not kidding.
@@mikekeenanphd 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 I flipped my phone upside down to read it and 🤡 then I got it
Hint: use a mirror guys lol
Yes! Karen cinematography! Love to see the magic of editing brought in with those little sketches at the end
The lighting in this video was insane!!! So satisfying, and so worth watching part of it in the dark. Thank you!!

Yeah loved that too
Omg the ending had me laughing so much 😂 Seriously loved the production value you put into this video, it was magic 😄
All the lighting changes are gorgeous and the jokes are perfect
I love how much fun you had with the ending. Pure MAGIC
Fun ending to the video!! I think this would be a nice puzzle to display on the wall, just like a normal mirror 😊
I loved the dark view of the puzzle it almost looks spacey in some way it was dope as hell. I also Loved the Magic at the end its cute.
That mirror, mirror bit was the cutest opening ever!
the end was CINEMA
Right!
Then someone comes along and takes the puzzle apart, trapping Karen until it is completed again, with some new unfortunate soul uttering the spell and taking her place… 👻
Could take years…
Wow wow wow, solving a puzzle has never been more aesthetic! Doing this puzzle under the blue and pink lights, and low light was so beautiful! All the set up and lighting and everything just goes to show what an artist you are!
20:35 It does look good!!!!!! Was arguably my favorite effect
You are by far the funniest, most entertaining puzzler in all the lands! Hope you find your way back out of that magic mirror!
12:15 that is genius! Bring the piece you have to find the piece you need!
Wow Karen it feels like it’s been an eternity. Your videos are so addictive I could watch them all day ❤
I've been working on a few big videos at once, so I'll be posting them over the next few weeks ☺️
@@KarenPuzzles I knew it . I thought to myself ,’ is Karen doing a big puzzrle’
Thank you 🩷🩷
I was watching old videos for the algorithm when this one got published 😅
That was one of the Best Videos that I've seen in a while. BRAVO!
Loved the music, lighting, theatrics, everything. 🎉
I do puzzles with my Dad (93) it helps keep him thinking and is very good for his hand mobility.
Puzzlematic, cinematic, magic! Thank you - your attention to detail, presentation style, always brighten my day.
Magic . That was amazing I loved the ending too. the lights were perfect 🧩

18:27 Neon lights reveal was great lmao
The heart shaped connectors are so cuteee
This puzzles are amazing. Thank you Karen for sharing them with us ❤
Very pretty puzzle. Been puzzling since age of 10 now 61....so love it. Thank you. Never saw these puzzles though. ❤
The mirror at the beginning had the exact three puzzlers I had in mind after each of your question. The editing and love put into this video was amazing!
Hi Karen!! Those colour shots on that puzzle were magic!!! I definitely would not try this one. I am only just getting over completing the brussel sprout puzzle I got for Christmas! Took me from 26th December to 7th February!!!!!
It's always the vintage Springbok puzzles that have demonic supernatural powers
I liked the wide shots where the colors from your shelf of puzzles were being reflected on the table. It was magical. Really fun video.
I feel the need to say, Karen is an icon and stays doing iconic things. No one is doing it like she is 😍
The staging and camera work on your videos is next level. Who knew puzzles were this exciting. 🤩
I love how much fun you’re having with vintage puzzles! I think you really did this puzzle justice with your set and video ideas - it was beautiful to watch. The color lighting was a superb idea.
Your puzzle videos are exceptional. This reflects on all the hard work and innovative ideas you have in the making of them. No wonder you were in the Guinness book of Records. May your subscribers grow and grow. You thoroughly deserve them.
Hahaha 🫶 That ending tho! You definitely joined a magic cult. One of us, one of us! Love you Karen.
I appreciate the disclaimer about the amounts! Also, your entire channel is great content to watch in the background or while drunk
I was around in the 70's. They were high when the wrote that.
At least you have the picture on the box to work from... 😄
I just started watching your videos a few days ago, and some of these puzzles are absolutely mesmerizing. This was no exception. Magical. 🌟
I LOVED the intro 😂😂😂😂 Mirror mirror on the wall, who is the best RUclips puzzler of them all? ❤
Also, the giant burrito coment was hilariously 😂😂😂 I love you so much ❤
the ending too!!
@@pvic6959 yes! That was so creative and funny
The editing, lighting and effort in this video is just magic! All the cool effects and lighting changes, I just love it!
you really outdid yourself with this video, Karen! it was so fun and engaging the entire time!!!
At first I thought you just put a green screen behind you, but no, you legit made a foil background. The dedication!
OMG THE SHOT AT 24:00! IM LITERALLY IN AWE 🤩
Magic magic in the air such a beautiful puzzle so clear! I love the effects in this video, loved to watched it!
That intro had me 😂😂😂😂
This video is so much fun. You never stop to amaze me with your MAGICal power of settings and editings. The lights were absolutely astonishing ♥
Oddly enough, the fact that the surface of the table is more reflecting than the puzzle makes the pieces stand out even more. And those lighting effects made it look absolutely gorgeous! It's like magic ❤
This was the MAGIC video I needed to pregame for Super Bowl viewing. The special effects you used in this for amazing! Thank you Karen.❤
You are such a great filmmaker 🎥
This video was magical. The way you changed the lighting was awesome ❤
also congratulations on switching post schedules! having enough time to do whatever you want is so exciting, this video is so worth waiting for!
Really cool editing on this video. Playing with the lights made this one stand out a bit from your normal vids. Nicely done!
You have HUGE patience ❤
Magic. This was a beautiful puzzle. I wouldn't try it myself, but it was a pleasure watching you complete it Karen!
This was fun!!! Thank you for the additional story and just having fun with the stage and reflection afterwards.
19:37 That looks gorgeous 😮
Pure magic! Thanks for the effort you put into this video and for your creative approach. Very pretty puzzle and beautifully filmed!
That timelapse in the dark was soooo artistic and beautiful. I feel like that could have been used in a music video of a big band....
The part when you light up everything with colored lights was so beautiful, but then the dark and brigth shot came and it was magical. Like watching a scene of outer space
The closeup of the puzzle pieces would make the PERFECT PUZZLE
Very funny video and the editing was I think your best ever.
Awesome video, Karen! I have to wonder which lighting (or darkness) was your favorite from a puzzling perspective. The purple Karen working on a greenish/blueish puzzle was especially pleasing to my eye (20-end of solve). The pickup section was also so pretty :)
Separate note, but the magic of your special effects at the end was out of this world!
I liked the shot at the end where the pieces looked black but they just had the pink and blue lights on the outline!
Fantastic setup and video. The extra effort is seen (twice!) and appreciated.
This was so satisfying to watch! You made the footage so pretty!!!!!
Edit: That ending was really creative too, truly magic! lol
The production on this is next level! Omg I loved it, those colors were just gorgeous :D
This channel is such a delight. I love niche hobby channels, makes me want to up my game for the yearly Christmas family puzzle!
I can't even begin to explain the pure excitement I felt when I saw the circle puzzle box!!!
karen, i love your sense of humor. your videos are just so wholesome . this one did have some extra little magic though
I really enjoyed this puzzle and your FUN video from start to finish. Also, the puzzle itself as you said is beautiful. You put tons of work into this production and it paid off. Well done, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
Really enjoyed the extra production and scripting that went into this one!
taking the time to post on your own time really pays off! such a great video, made me smile:)
This was the exact pretty thing that i needed! Amazing production, i appreciate the attention to detail for sure
The light during the last stretch of the puzzle looked really magic-al. Love all three tops you had during this video 😁😍
This was pure magic. I truly love how you staged it all, with the lighting changes & especially the ending. Well done. 👌 I'd definitely give this puzzle a go, looked like fun.
Your intros and your exits are getting so amazing. It was magical to see you having fun.
I am quite often angry at other channels because it annoys me when they start to think what to say while already on camera or do things like hugely yawning…. THANK YOU for always putting an extra effort into your clips! The mirror puzzle is magic indeed- love the way you experimented with the different colours.
I absolutely love the MAGIC of your puzzles!!! 😄
Love how much fun you have with puzzles like this beautiful piece. 😊
She is a really really good video editor and maker. Watched a ton of these videos the last weeks, and you feel the work and thought behind the videos. Its magic.
That puzzle was insane and your artistic filming was great. Thanks for the MAGIC moments. Hope you are ok!
