I know this is going to make everyone cringe, from the title of the video to the content. However, I'm willing to accept the backlash for posting this foul cancer in lui of the fact that this video has so few views, 0 comments, and I was unable to find any threads about it on the forum.
Clearly, the guy is being an absolute fool for lighting such a fire on that clipboard indoors; you even see embers fall onto the wooden chair. Some of his other videos show him using a gas laser to pop balloons, while his female guest sits on the couch lacking eye protection. I don't condone any of this guys actions and wanted to get this out of the way to begin with.
Now, I'm wondering about the legitimacy of the video. I don't sense a whole lot of video manipulation, but there could be a subtle jump cut the moment the laser is turned on (I saw somewhat of a delayed reaction, but that could be normal). You also see lots of divergent green speckle around the area that is being burnt. Another thing I've considered is that if that green laser were as strong as suggested, it would flood the room with green light, especially when being bounced off of a white peice of paper like that. My hunch is that the green laser is a few mw greenie for show, and the actual fire starter is an invisible IR beam coming maybe from behind the scenes? This is assuming the whole thing isn't a hoax to begin with. No 40w handheld greens exist like what is attempting to be depicted here. The host itself is so rag tag, covered in electrical tape and misc wires, it's screaming hoax. Also, where would the heatsinking be for such a device? There's no way to discipate heat here. My guess is weak green handheld for show + powerful IR behind the scenes. Any thoughts?
