Is it possible/practical to make a "bowl" lined with magnets so that an opposing magnet (or spaced grid of magnets) can "float" without sliding away? Is preventing the flipping without mechanical restraint the hard part?

Thank you. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earnshaw%27s_theorem

What is your personal favorite toy/fun application of magnets?

Most elegant application of magnets? (not limited to toys)

Are there any advances brewing that could soon result in dramatic new capabilities?

Any special shipping/packing involved when you send these out?

Thanks for taking the time to write this - it helped!
