I wanted to share something that I made that I thought folks here would appreciate.
In the Movie Dr. Strange, when the characters invoke spells, there are some pretty amazing CGI effects that take place.

I wanted to see if I could attempt to replicate it with a practical effect. Working with some friends, I believe we have come pretty close, all of it is powered by some pretty nifty Adafruit products.
To complete this I purchased the following items
]Adafruit Pro Trinket - 5V 16MHz https://www.adafruit.com/product/2000
Adafruit NeoPixel Digital RGB LED Strip 144 LED - 1m Black - BLACK https://www.adafruit.com/product/1506
4-pin JST SM Plug + Receptacle Cable Set https://www.adafruit.com/product/578
16mm Panel Mount Momentary Pushbutton - Black https://www.adafruit.com/product/1505
I also modified and printed the following Box Enclosure for the Trinket Pro from Thingiverse https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3055499
My friend helped me laser cut the Spell Mandala
This is how the project box and Trinket looked when they were completed
