Parts Layout

(1) ~6" of 1.5" pvc
(2) enough thin plastic to rop around an end of the PVC (typical sandwich bag is fine)
(3) small mirror (find a locket, or use a glass cutter on a mirror, or even use a small piece of polished metal)
(4) laser pointer
(5) tape (duct, I s'pose)
(6) some wood for a base plate

Cover End of Pvc

place plastic over one end of pvc. rap a rubber band tightly over the plastic and the pvc, pull edges of plastic down to tighten the plastic over the pvc hole.

Put Mirror on Plastic

tape the small mirror onto the plastic, as centered as you can comfortably eyeball.

Assemble

First tape the pvc tube down, leaving the open end slightly hanging over the edge (you wll be talking / singing into this side). Use a small piece of wood to angle it upwards slightly.

Next, place the laser onto the baseplate. Recommend turning the laser on while attaching it to the base-plate so that you can aim the laser onto the mirror while you tape it down. Another small piece of wood might help angle the laser correctly.

To Use:

Turn on the laser, find where on the wall your laser is pointing. Speak or sing into the pvc and watch as the laser-point on the while vibrates to the sound of your voice. Consider making many for your friends and doing a laser light show.
