Alternatively, you could go over to K&J Magnetics, buy two 3/4” rare earth ball magnets for $15 bucks

and get 3’ of 1” aluminum tube from McMaster Carr for $26.20

Cut the tubing into four pieces and you’ve built two mind bending desk toys at a fraction of the advertised price! Your brain will be so warped you may be unable to feed yourself or wash properly.

So that’s another little-known scientific phenomenon, then?
