Watch the whole video, I was really surprised at that what this baby can do.

Bookmarked the link. This will be my next hackery project. Although the paper towel tube ping pong ball cannon was a huge hit at the summer outing. This will be the next level.

make sure you use a multiple speed DVD burner.. Others are just weak.. I got started on an "others" laser today.. On the bright side, my DVD burner just crapped out!

wouldn't it be easier to just spend the 5 bucks, and not rip up the original laser pointer that you need to transform the mag-light into one?

Yes, but then you couldn't burn shit with it. A DVD burner's laser has much potential for your very own (sort of) light sabre. There's something to be said for starting a fire... From across the room.
