http://www.instructables.com/answers/is-it-possible-to-make-a-laser-beam-more-powerful-/ Magnifying glass should be concave lens for greater authenticity, and several lasers (3?) ^ Nice! That woudl make it look more realistic. Does anyone have extra laser pointer? and concave magnifying glass? - laser needs more power output, wire a 9v battery to it Script __Allen__ - Cameraman __Daria__ - Narrator __Elena__ - Laser tester __Paul__ - Movember participant

Scene 1 - Intro //(opening, Daria)// __Daria:__ Hi! We decided to film our attempt at altering a laser pointer in a way that would allow it to cut through surfaces, such as paper, given the materials that we have at hand. Here is our ‘science geeks’ team, Paul and Elena will be testing the laser, I’m Daria, I’ll help you follow through with our experiment and this is Allen our newbie cameraman. We’re students at University of Toronto, Faculty of Physics and this is our final project experiment.

Scene 2 - The Beginning (//items used)// __Daria:__ We have not yet obtained the faculty’s approval to conduct this experiment, so we will have to manage without proper lab equipment. It should still work though. Here is what we’ll need: a laser pointer, magnifying glass…

Scene 3 - Laser __Paul:__ So we will send the laser beam through the magnifying glass to concentrate it and create a hotspot at the focus point by thermally inducing the beam. (//Paul uses laser and mag. glass, Elena holds a piece of paper in front of the laser, few seconds pass)// //__Elena:__// No, nothing. //(touches the paper)// It didn’t even warm up. (//Elena// //puts down the paper, the laser beam hits a black shirt/sweater/scarf whatever and burns a hole in it, trace of smoke)// //(Paul, Allen, Daria talk at the same time, Elena clueless)// __Allen:__ (//concerned)// Guys there’s smoke coming out… __Daria:__ (//freaked out)// Oh my god! __Paul__: (//startled)// Shit!

Scene 4 - Movember __Allen:__ (//laughing)// Hey, Paul! Let’s try it on you maybe you will finally have a real Movember moustache. //(we laugh, or comment, whatever looks more natural)// __Paul:__I don’t know…(//tries it on his hand)//…..alright…don’t get it into my eyes though. (//we do the laser action on Paul)// //(Paul rubs towel against his face and all the hair comes off)// //(Surprise, Excitement, etc.)//
