Laser Pointer Forums - Discuss Laser Pointers | High Power Lasers

I am a 19 year old computer sciences major. My hobby is special effects and magic. I have been doing magic since I was 8 years old. I am interested in using lasers for at least one if not more of my tricks and stunts. I am very very new to lasers and have no idea what I am doing so please pardon the noobish questions. Anything you all can tell me would be greatly appreciated thanks in advance .
