Instructions to Float the Ring Magnet Hold the pencil upright; place one of the ring magnets onto the pencil. Follow the first magnet with the second one, until the two magnets attract or repel to each other. If the magnet repelled when pushed towards the other magnet, remove fingers and the magnet will float above the bottom one. If the magnet doesn't repel, slide it off the pencil, flip it over and place back onto pencil, sliding it down until the repel force is felt.
