This video features my largest neodymium magnet which also happens to be one of the largest in the world. I haven't seen neodymium magnets larger than 6 inches (I've heard about thin 8 inchers).

I guess neodymium is getting very expensive very fast! A lot of people have asked me why I would buy a 500$ magnet.

The text on the magnet is german ...
