| · | What can Strange Attractor do? |
| Here's just some of the many tricks you can do using Strange Attractor:
- Attract a magnet or other pieces of Strange Attractor.
- Repel a magnet and then attract it back again.
- Pickup lightweight metal objects.
- Lock a tendril in space against gravity.
- Reveal the shape of the field lines emanating from a permanent magnet.
- Move, roll, and lift a magnet from a distance.
- Melt around a magnet and the putty will actually lift it off the table.

| · | What is Strange Attractor? |
| Strange Attractor is a new Thinking Putty with unique and mind-blowingly awesome magnetic properties! Each piece is embedded with millions of tiny micromagnets. When the putty is stretched, molded, or shaped, these magnets all face in random directions. This cancels out their magnetic charge and Strange Attractor behaves like all any other Thinking Putty.
However, in the presence of a magnetic field, the micromagnets begin to align. Once they are facing the same direction, their individual field lines join forces to create a truly magnetic Thinking Putty.
When a strong, Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet is held close to Strange Attractor, you probably won't feel anything at first. Fear not. Close your eyes and count to five. Pop! The micromagnets align and WOW! This is strong stuff. The strength will continue to increase and the aligned magnetic field expands throughout the entire piece of putty over time.

| · | How is Strange Attractor different than magnetic Black Thinking Putty? |
| Our original Black Thinking Putty contains micron sized iron-based particles which respond to a magnetic field. In the presence of a Neodymium Iron Boron (NdFeB) magnet, the putty will deform as these particles are drawn towards the magnet.
Strange Attractor does more than simply respond to a magnetic field. It actually becomes a magnet itself with a strength that is orders of magnitude more powerful than Black Thinking Putty. Once the micromagnets in Strange Attractor are aligned with each other, you can flip it backwards to feel it actively repel the NdFeB magnet. Hold it in place against the repulsion and count to five. Pop! The magnetic poles of the Thinking Putty flip again and it morphs from repulsion to attraction.
As the magnetic field strengthens, even a small NdFeB magnet can lift tendrils up into the air and control them like a snake charmer. | |
| · | Is it really that awesome? |
| Oh yes! The magnetic field is STRONG and you'll notice when you have putty in one hand and a NdFeB magnet in the other. Remember that fascination you had with magnetic fields when you were a kid? Well, with Strange Attractor, that fascination will be back in a big way! I guarantee it. You can watch more videos and tricks here | |
| · | Are bigger magnets better? |
| The stronger the magnet, the more powerful an effect you'll feel from Strange Attractor. The magnets we sell are 12mm cubes. They are the same magnets shown in our videos. They are very strong and, in our opinion, represent a nice balance between strength and safety. However, if you feel like you can mind your fingers and your tender flesh, you can purchase even stronger magnets from our partner Gaussboys. Be careful! |
