Cool. I like the MagnaView Fluid and that huge palm sized 3" disc magnet.

edit - reading the description of those supermagnets, I really wonder how it can be shipped without causing problems?

Wonder how legit the site is. If they perform like they say... damn that could be some fun times right there. 3x1" super magnets ftw!

Apparently the super magnets have to be shipped UPS ground because they're so powerful they can affect flight control systems.

:shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked: :shocked:

If they're that strong you'd think they'd stick right to the UPS van... maybe they have to package them in some kind of special material to keep them from sucking other cars across lanes. :p

I'm tempted to order a couple just to see if the shipping boxes will stick to other stuff in the UPS truck :p
