Laser Magic Show - Jason Latimer

[#1RAGE]

Amazing! This guy does some very cool tricks using a green laser. Actually maybe more than one laser. :twothumbs

Wonder what the power output of that greenie he is using is? Hopefully he doesn't get anyone in the audience in the eye!

Entertaining video - he's good! Gotta love those green lasers!

 

[Gazoo]

Yeah, I got a kick out of it too. He does to appear cautious about aiming the laser(s). As far as what he is using I can't really tell. In the beginning of the clip the laser looks big and might be a Hercules...just a guess. But I did enjoy watching the tricks...awesome.

 

[Tropmonky]

I'm guessing fiber optic cable?

c'mon, someone in here has got to know.....

Do you REALLY want to know? Why not just enjoy the mystery? I do a few closeup magic tricks & there's always someone who either HAS to know how it's done or claims they know ruining it for others. (BTW, I've got a good idea - but I'm not talkin'! ) I used to be that way, but now I just appreciate the entertainment value! Chris Angel blows me away with his stuff!!

It's metaphysics... :nana:

 

[Daedal]

You got that right Aaron. You're got to be in touch with your inner LASER

Amazing!

:thinking:

 

[Illum]

the hand trick where a part of the lasers on his thumb....are there lasers that can only emit light when in contact with a chemical on the reflection surface?

 

[PhotonWrangler]

The hand trick is a thumb tip with a green LED in it.

I think I know how he did the final trick but I'm not sayin'.

 

[Illum]

the twin light saber effect got me thinking....theres projects where ppl have used super caps to light LEDs after a charge using a power source....simple 5mw Lasers on caps:candle:

on the video the laser can be seen dissipating light as he sweeped the floor, so that resolves the possibility of a multi-axis projector...but the top half was cut off film... :thinking:

 

[chuck]

For the finger effect, what about something even simpler?

The LASER provides a very intense burst of light -- charge up some "glow in the dark" paint on the tip of his finger... It'd take only a momentary exposure to charge it enough to glow (usually greenish) for a few seconds, and then fade.

Very similar to what happens in the video.
