    Citation needed! I’ve done it with a cheap iron magnet and a hammer.

    Anyway I think he implied that these magnet was just below Curie temperature.

    He might just be a stable genius.

        Now we’re talking science!

        I’ll write the funding proposal at once.

      Iron magnets are crap, but I imagine he does not know better having gone to school in the 50s-60s. But yes, those are magnetically weak enough and physically strong enough for a hammer to work.
