The magnet should be a flattened cylinder with a diameter no larger than about one centimeter. Be careful not to let small children play with the magnet. Also, do not place it on or near electronics equipment, including tablets, phones, or MP3 players. [1] X Research source
If you want to adjust the position of the screw on the magnet, you should be able to slide it around. If you want to use another screw for some reason (or suddenly realize you need to hang up a picture with the screw), try pushing it off the magnet rather than trying to pull it straight out.
You may hear a low hum or buzz when the circuit is complete. If it does not spin, try reversing the polarity of the magnet by removing the screw, turning the magnet over, then reattaching the screw.
It may help to use a template or outline you’ve drawn or printed from the internet when shaping the wire into the ballerina form. You can print the ballerina outline or template, then lay the wire over it, bending along the outline to get the desired shape.
