Overview:

Magnetic Thinking Putty takes regular "silly" putty and turns its awesomeness up to 11. Like any other putty, it can be stretched, bounced, molded, popped, and torn. However, when this putty is in the presence of a magnetic field, it exhibits fascinating properties.

Millions of tiny micron-sized magnets are embedded in each handful of Magnetic Thinking Putty. Use the included super-strong neodymium iron boron cube magnet to control the putty like a snake charmer. Or "charge" this black, green-flecked blob of putty so it can become a magnet of its own and pick up small tacks and paperclips.

Ages 14+. Hours of fun are guaranteed.

  • Putty weight: 3.2 ounces

Control the putty like a snake charmer

Magnetic Thinking Putty is infused with millions of micron-sized (one-millionth of a meter) magnetic particles. These particles are what give Magnetic Thinking Putty its strange attraction properties.

Use the included neodymium magnet to pull tendrils of the putty in all directions. It's crazy fun!

In absence of magnets, behaves like any other type of putty

While Magnetic Thinking Putty is a more highly evolved form of regular putty, it can still do all of the "normal" things that you love about putty. Namely, you can bounce it, stretch it, and tear it -- all of which are still loads of fun.

Magnetic Thinking Putty has all the characteristics of regular silly putty.

Picks up paperclips and tacks

Holding the included neodymium iron boron magnet next to the Magnetic Thinking Putty will cause the putty to become magnetically charged. You can then pick up magnetized objects or even magnetize non-magnetic items. It's pretty darned cool.

Magnetic Thinking Putty has a mind of its own!

Playing with magnets is just plain fun. Objects seem to "jump" or snap on their own. But it's the slow-moving nature of Magnetic Thinking Putty, combined with its magnetism, that creates a horror movie-esque quality.  It's just plain freaky.

Place a large clump of Magnetic Thinking Putty next to the included neodymium magnet and it will slowly encase the entire magnet. In fact, the putty will literally lift the magnet off the table as if devouring it. AWE-SOME!

Note: Retrieving the "eaten" magnet is fairly easy. Just dig around inside the putty and pull it out.

Don't try this at home...without safety goggles.

Yes, you can smash Magnetic Thinking Putty into dozens of pieces with a hammer. Awesome!

How does this work? Well, it's complicated. Essentially, the putty behaves like different materials when force is applied at different time intervals.

Over long time intervals, it acts somewhat like a liquid (spreading slowly). Over medium time intervals, it stretches. Over quick time intervals, you can tear it. And when pounded with a hammer, well, it acts like a solid and shatters. In a large clean area, you can collect all of the pieces and continue to use the putty as if nothing happened. It's crazy awesome.

However, you should wear safety goggles and thick clothing. The pieces of putty will fly at extremely fast speeds and could knock your eye out. Don't say we didn't warn ya'.

Magnetic Thinking Putty will explode if smashed with a hammer.

Kills boredom, magnet included

Magnetic Thinking Putty is a stretchable, bounceable, moldable, tearable, magnetic, and all-around fascinating toy.

But, it wouldn't be a great gift if it wasn't ready-to-go right out of the box. That's why each order of Magnetic Thinking Putty is packaged inside a metal tin along with a super-strong neodymium iron boron magnet. So, now it's time for you to buy, buy, buy!
