Hey, everyone!

Levitating nuts & bolts is fine, but I would rather be levitating minifigures:

How I did it:  There is a building system called "MAGZ", which utilizes magnets
and steel balls to build geometric shapes.  I took the magnets (they are
insanely strong) out of one of the elements, and discovered it fits perfectly
into a minifig head!  Not only that, but it doesn't prevent the head from
fitting all of the way on the shoulders! (Okay, so unless you want to levitate
minifigs, that isn't that exciting...)

No, this all is very exciting!  I would like more info on your project,
Christopher-- My son would absolutely *love* to recreate your set-up!
