Saw it on telly – and it amused the grandchildren.

Float a couple of Kellogs cornflakes (Other brands are available) onto some milk, and drag them around with a magnet. The added iron in the cornflakes are attracted to the magnet. Even better if you have a powerfull enough magnet you can operate from under the table – I guess you could use electro magnet and reverse the current for clever effects !!

If you have a powerful enough magnet you could attract the milk as well, that would be fun.

Just about everything is magnetic to some degree, check it out. BTW the milk thing was meant to be a joke, following on from a discussion we had in the pub a couple of days earlier, but of course only me on here knows that.
