Anybody know where I can get custom laser pointers-meaning ones where the lasers say messages that I think of?

If you mean “one laser pointer that projects any message you think of,” we’re probably a few years away from that, technologically speaking.

If you mean “custom laser pointers that project a single built-in message,” try [here.](http://lasersale.com)

One of my first lasers had 5 different heads to put on laser. Like “I love you” or “Get Real”, “Don’t Look”. I need one that says “Turn Fon Off”. Going to the movies you always have a few who think they have to text while movie is going on. They are usually down in front and its a major distraction. Wondering if a Company could make one?
