The wire can get hot if you leave it on for a long time like 1-2 minutes straight so be careful not to burn yourself.

  • you can just strip any old wire (i.e. power cord -make sure it's not plugged in lol, headphones, etc.)

    the best is an old phone cord since there's 4 separate wires inside that you can use.

  • You could do that, just remember the wire has to be adequately thick to bend into shape. Preferably more thick then what I used.

  • As far as I know yes.

    I don't think any other type of magnet is strong enough.

    They are very cheap to buy and they are a lot of fun to play with :)

    try ebay for starters.
