The Enigma Tower (magic w/o electronics)

This model contains strong magnets. It is not a child's toy. Behold the forgotten technology of ancient Egypt! The Enigma Tower defies natural law by suspending an object along its axis of unstable equilibrium. What was once deemed impossible was solved long ago, only to vanish—lost to the unrelenting sands of time. For this project, it's important to carefully follow all directions, especially the safety instructions (feel free to skip over the “Physics” section). Otherwise, rather than deal with poor results, I suggest moving on to a different project.

One outcome of this is the inability to stably levitate an object using stationary electric fields
