I'm using .25" x .25" x .100" Neodymium Iron-Boron magnets.  I bought them 
from Magcraft: http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/p-28-nsn0610.aspx

I also have some of these: http://www.rare-earth-magnets.com/p-6-nsn0566.aspx
I will give these a shot at some point as well.

A single magnet rotating around it may work, but I think the performance 
is improved by saturating the device the way I'm doing it.

Political correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a turd
by the clean end.
