Did Disney demonstrate a real lightsaber in front of live audience?

I'm holding a real lightsaber. Disney have demonstrated a retractable lightsaber at tech, film, and music festival South by Southwest (SXSW). Videos from the talk show Chairperson of Walt Disney Parks and Resorts Josh D'Amaro fire up and then retract the device in front of the crowd.

Black Kyber crystals are not sold the same way as other crystals. Rather, they are labeled and sold as red crystals, and it's only after opening it that you will find it's a black crystal. Any red crystal has a chance at being a coveted black crystal, and the odds have been estimated at somewhere around 1:100.
