Heres a quick crap wee video of me burning a pink water balloon Crap quality coz i used my phone.

BURSTING A BALLOON!

Dave where can i get lenses ? or what everyday household thing coudl i maybe get a lense from

Anything such as magnifying glasses, jeweller's loupes etc. The object is to concentrate the beam spot.

You can pop balloons of opposite color or close to it or black. Pink has red in it so it will be hard to pop with a red laser. The color of an object is due to the color it reflects and doesn't absorb. A red laser will pop blue or green pretty easy. If you color a spot with black marker (as you did) it will pop better too.
