Product Description
Toss the Buzz Magnets into the air. The 2 hematite magnets fly & collide, wrestling for equilibrium in a clattering, buzzing, cicada sounding collision until they land at rest, centered and quiet in your cupped hands. A pair of powerful ellipsoidal hematite magnets, their poles aligned through their narrow circumferences, allow you to demonstrate the constant striving of the magnets to stay in perfect balance with each other. Not only are they fun to play with, but they are also great for hand-eye coordination. |

These strong magnets are fun to listen to as well as demonstrate the power of magentic fields to my 6 and 5 yr old boys. This is a great find.

My kids have had a lot of fun with these magnets. They have had them over a year and they still have fun with them.

Great fun by C. G. King (Horse Country, VA USA) 5 Stars
January 27, 2009
How to entertain an 8-year-old who is stuck at Grandma's house sick? Grandma has an old-fashioned TV that doesn't do video games and a terribly slow computer. Happily, we found this toy that provided hours of fun. While at the drug store getting his prescription filled he chose these magnets because he'd seen some at school and was intrigued. It's been a long time since I've seen him so fascinated with something for so long. The magnets are quite heavy for their size (approx. 1 3/4" long)and have a highly polished surface, which makes them inviting to hold. They are very strong and can be made to do all sorts of interesting `magic' things, from moving mysteriously on the top of a table by virtue of the other held below the surface, to dancing and wiggling around on the floor. When they connect, they make an interesting buzzy sound. Even I had fun playing with them. Because their magnetic field is so strong, it's easy to learn a great deal about magnetism without even trying. I wish we'd gotten two sets to double the fun. An inexpensive toy that teaches and spurs the imagination is hard to find. Highly recommended.

| Hand Blasters
by Toysmith
Hand Blasters are simple: toss one up in the air while holding the other in your hand. When the first ball strikes the second, youll hear a loud BANG. Great for startling people and sound effects, hand blasters provide hours of entertainment. -- But, how do they work? These hand blasters are ceramic balls coated with potassium chlorate, sulfur, glue, and powdered glass. When the two balls collide, the friction between the sand causes a chemical reaction between the potassium chlorate and...
