Hi, for a magic trick, I will pop balloons from 10 to 15 meter away with the power of my mind. (my assistent from backstage with a laser can help also)
I have some questions about popping balloons.
I read that 100 - 200 mW will pop balloons at a distance almost instantly.
Can someone confirm that?
Then there is the question of safety. I think it is an extremely bad idea to shoot 200 mW laser beams over the head of the audience to balloons that are hanging above their heads. I read that with wavelengths <400 nm and >1200 nm. the eye will filter the EMR so the eye will not be damaged as a beam wanders in ones eyes. Can someone confirm that?
Is it possible to build a 200 mW laser with 350 nm or 1250 nm ?
If so I will have a completely invisible, safe balloon popper (and a lot of mind power). What would be the price for such a device?
Hope to get some answers.
kind regards Dag
