I use hard drive magnets since I have a ton of them. One good thing about working in IT. I'm never short on HDs to break open.

I've got an N52 neodymium magnet which has a hole through the centre so it can be suspended on a piece of string. I use it occaisionally to see if a piece of metal is weakly magnetic or not. If it is, it will stick to this magnet. The magnet is small, but powerful. Here are a couple of demo pics I fired off to give you an idea...
It's difficult to show that the hammer and the circular saw are suspended rather than laying on something, but believe me they are!

I know lying is wrong, but if the elephant man came in now in a blouse with some make up on, and said, "How do I look?"

Wow, that is powerful. Try using that one to fake a tongue piercing.

I took a 5/16' dia. 3lb magnet and stuffed it into the end of a 5" long piece of 3/8" soft copper tube. I'm experimenting with baling the stripped wire to conserve storage space.

Oh I like that idea! I have some rare earth magnets that will fit perfectly in a tube like that.
If it wasn't for the $ in $crap, it would just be.....
