Step 2 Cut the magnets and make the pendulum

1. Take the disc magnet and hold it in the pliers (if you have a second disc magnet, use it to find which sides attract and which repels). Now cut it in half.

2. If you didn't have a second magnet, follow this step. Use the half magnets on each other, do your best to discover which areas attract and which areas repel. Cut the disc so that each smaller magnet only repels or attracts on each side.

3. After you have cut one half of the magnet into smaller magnets, cut another one out of the other side to be used as your pendulum.

4. Now use your marker to mark which sides of the main magnets will repel the side that you've chosen to be used for your pendulum.

5. Cut the pendulum down to size and make a slight cut half way into the magnet (so that one side of the cut is at the bottom, the side that you've chosen to repel off the others, and the other side of the cut is at the top). Cut a piece of thread about 5 inches long (makes it easier to tie the knots).

6. Using the small cut you've just made, insert the thread into it and loop it back up around the magnet and tie.

7. Now take the wire and bend the tip up. Tie the thread (so there's about an inch and a quarter) around the dip in the tip and bend the tip back. Goop up both the tip of the wire and around the magnet's sides and top (not the bottom though).
