    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?" Would you say, bearing in mind he's depressed and has respiratory problems, would you say, "Go and take that blusher off you mis-shapened elephant tranny?" No. You'd say, "You look nice... John""

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

    copper magnet

    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.
