glue two together

Tape is less permanent.
Is this like "when you point at someone, there are three fingers pointing back at you"?
Blind yourself (or the person behind you) whenever you use it! YAAY!!

You could try epoxy'ing 2 small, powerful magnets to the bottoms of 2 identical pointers like laserman does at 1:15 in this video..... (at least I think that's what he does)

On-topic: Cover the back end of 2 in hot glue and then shove them in a tube of inner diameter just exceeding theirs

Off-topic: danefex, i can't stop staring at your avatar pic! Grrr...

Sorry.. I had a laser-spewing Tyra Banks avatar before this one that wasn't as hypnotic. This one makes me want to play old video games

 

[JaiNobeZ]

Oh yeah, i remember that. Haha... your avatar pics are fun. Any ideas what to have next?

I also like the avatar pic but I just realized it is half a MB. I am surprised a much lower limit is not placed on the avatar pics.

Why would you want a double sided laser pointer? Even if it was just 5mw I am trying to think of a time I would ever want to turn both sides on at once and I am not seeing it.

He may mean something like one side is red and the other green with individual power buttons.
So you flip it for a different color. I've never seen one of those.

I want to do the same trick as the laser man is doing
YouTube - LaserMan - Awesome Laser Show
When you can grab the beam that is coming out of a laser projector
So the pointer has to be powerful and with one push button
I rather buy than make it from 2 laser pointers

^ ^ I'm telling you, tailcap mointed magnets are the best way to go IMO. They're easily attached & separated when demonstrating the 'darth maul double lightsaber' laser effect

As it says on the bottom of your profile settings where you can upload your avatar "The maximum size of your custom image is 200 by 200 pixels or 750.0 KB (whichever is smaller)" ......I was worried this one wouldn't make the limit, but I'm glad that it had

 

[JaiNobeZ]

Yeah, i'm with danefex on this. He did seem to seperate them at some points, as would be best done with magnets (or velcro, but magnets are better all-round).

That guy has bad laser safety. Granted, fog must have been used, but i wonder how powerful those beams were? And he definitely caught a direct hit on several occaisions.

He has glasses on. That video has smoke in it I can see it traveling upwards.

Now tell me if I am wrong but it looks to me he just has something in his hand's that is a combination of something that absorbs the laser and mirrors that redirect the lasers coming from the floor. thats all it is IMO

 

[PhysX]

He uses mirrors on his hands.

You're not wrong, he also uses mirrors attached to his gloves. It's a lot more than just that though, a lot of choreography with well programmed laser(s) is also involved.

Makes me think of "Pong"
Yes....I'm old enough to remember playing "Pong"
