Laser + electrical tape = Free Light show..

Cool I got the same effect but it only lasted for about 30 seconds check it out on my channel

YouTube - Mini Laser Abstract Show

I pointed mine at a roll of black electrical tape, and i moved the laser a little bit every once in awhile to make it move around more. Nearly every time it had a 'big change' in my video was because I bumped the laser around.

Do they have clear electrical tape?
Lots of other types of tape are clear, why not electrical.

I cant wait to mix red and blue together while doing this! My avatar shows my aproval of this effect!

with my red I also found that while cutting thru the black plastic on a cheap disposable camera I could get an even brighter and similar effect. someday I plan on mounting the camera case on a slow RPM motor to keep the effect going.

Stay safe!

I've done this before many times, and i;ve never found anything better than a sharpie marker cap. The shiny black plastic it's made of reflects quite alot of light, yet still absorbs enough to melt.
