Any laser that has a visible beam at night or is strong enough to do experiments such as pop balloons or light matches.

Sooo... You attached a green laser to a glove, with an elastic band?

Some Instructables are pointless, because all they need are common sense... Another example is how to cook spam...

Seems like every instructable on here involving a laser is a wicked lasers product endorsement? =P

I just got a very bright visible green beam 5mw laser from Hong Kong on eBay for cheap, $0.01 item price plus $12.49 shipping, even came w batteries. I dont believe it has a UV filter, which accounts for the price, I guess, or is it IR? Whatever, it's green and it's bright and it wasn't $50 so I don't need to worry about ruining it. Just check around before you give Wicked your $.
