Floating Picture Frame

Intruducing the Magical Floating Picture Frame!!!  In this instructible I wanted to make something practicle, fun, inexpensive, educational, and a cool conversation piece,  in an all in one project.  Well here it is.....  It's nothing new to instructibles, but it is a neat project that can be put to practicle use.  I am using neodymium magnets positioned in a fashion to create a floating rod that you can hang objects from.  I hope you like it.  I know I learned a bit from playing with the magnet positions and their effect in combination with gravity as I tried hanging objects.  Let's go check it out.
