    I've no idea how to do what you want, but just wanted to mention, what the guy did popping balloons in the video might look like a fun game for a few minutes, but it's quite dangerous - one reflection and it could cause permanent eye damage.

     

    If you really intend to do this (and I'd advise not), notice he's doing it in a different room with a camera, which is a bit safer but still someone might step into the room unaware.

     

    There are a lot more fun things with lasers which can be done with lower power red laser pointer type diodes. But better to just start with arduino basics and learn how to control LEDs and motors, etc, i.e. baby steps first to learn electronics and software programming.

    Agreed I would be trying out the Arduino demos in the Arduino Playground understand this and integrate what I learned in to the main project.

    Otherwise you are just getting some one to do your project for you which is basically pointless in the long term.
