How does this Guy do this?

[Crazy Jay]

I believe he has two pointers for each hand. No magnets or mirrors. Just choreographed well. Oh and don't forget the crap load of smoke.

Those magnets are for those scenes where he transforms the beams from 'sword' to 'lance'. But I think for a moment he actually holds two 'lances' so he might have two sided pointer in each hand. Still some moves look like magnets were used.

Some more freeze frame fun !

Start of Y beam split .. not aligned precisely, hard to achieve with mirrors:

Pointer clearly visible IMHO:

Z pattern .. looks good in this frame:

But oops .. next frame .. one pointer switched off a bit later then it should:

Another 'good' frame .. beam is bent down ..

but next frame is not so good ..

Btw. i downloaded mp4 version and used regular movie player with frame step on these.

I dont think so because he bends them both. Also watch when he spins them around. He never actually spins them around entirely suggesting that they are mounted and to stay.

I think if I were to do this I would rather have everything on tight so no dropping of anything can happen.
You're eyes make you think its traveling.

Copy of a patented and copyrighted American act. The American involved is a juggler and blows the Indian out of the water. Said American got a caution about use of high power, and went low power, but the American has the lasers on some juggling toys that spin at high speed and scan the audience.

I've seen the American act, and I am a bit concerned that his lasers do a static shot now and then into the audience, but he now uses a couple of good hazers, and a carefully controlled, dense fog on stage.

The act is now getting cloned thanks to Youtube and some of the clones are not so safe.

This is the part that made me think it was a mirror. Thanks for the frames, it seems pretty clear now he was using pointers.

On top of things as usual-keep up the good work-that guy should have eyeware on!!!

Where did you see the Americn act??
did that guy protect his eyes?

thanks for the info----Len

Well .. while he for sure SHOULD have worn some eye protection .. it would be very difficult to do some of those tricks without seeing actual beam.
On that second video the guy has some glasses .. but they look like sunglasses. He for sure fell of the stage few times (at least I guess it was not intentional). And people around him wear nothing .. and those beams seems to be way over 5mW.

Yes and Yes.


At the local, annual, "Battle of the Magicians", where the locals have a contest and then bring in a few pros. The stage show, open to the public, is worth the 10$ every year. Especially if the "appearing bowling ball" guy shows up. Bowling balls come in from every direction, including falling, with excellent misdirection, and everybody keeps waiting for him to get hurt, but he never does.

Laser juggler Guy was good. He had about 2o pointers mounted on some very weird South American and Russian juggling tools, some of which spun up to a zillion RPM with variable angle cones of laser. Plus the floor mounted laser.

He's been mentioned on PL, where I learned the act is legally secure in the states, but I cannot find a link.

He gets like 3K a night to show up. That good.

Here we go:

Mark Nizers Laser Diablo

There is another act similar to the Indian guy that was on "America's got Talent".

Like I said, the Indian act is a clone, and there is better stuff out there.
