Exhibit Design Toolkit: WarnLaser
Why settle for a wimpy laser pointer, when you can purchase a laser that can "burn dark paper, melt plastics, pop balloons, and light matches"?
And just in time for those last-minute holiday shoppers, WarnLaser is just the place to buy such a device. Aside from the fun you can have melting and/or burning things, lasers are great to use in exhibits or educational demonstrations. The Instructables website also has some great examples of "laser show" projectors (also known as "laser spirographs")
Have fun --- and don't look directly at the laser source!
