how a match stick can auto egnite only placing it on 2-3 inches of distance with chemical. I have a reference video. can anybody tell what chemical is being applied on paper in this video ?

 

It is easy to cheat in such videos, as laser with 200 mW+ can ignite matchstick from longer distance..

 

But leaser light in not seen in that video

Author of the video could use IR, UV or edited video in post-production. People are making such videos every day to impress viewers, get audience and earn money on advertisements.

It's fake. Probably (as Sensei says) a laser since that's probably the easiest and cheapest way to do it..

Any chemical which could light a match at a distance of a few inches would destroy the paper on contact.
