They so want to be together that you will have a hard time keeping them apart. Rare Earth magnets are so strong that you can even hang a planter from your window on them. We blogged them last winter as the best thing to use with magnetic paint, but you don't need to stop there.
Properly known as rare earth neodymium-iron-boron (NdFeB) magnets, these suckers are small, smoothly shaped, come in various sizes and can be used to pin things, hold things together or connect pieces of furniture or cabinetry together. They make great gifts too, because they are just plain fun to play with. We find them at Rare-earth-magnets.com and Emovendo.

These are kind of dangerous.. I worked with them on an engineering undergrad project. Take caution with these. They can fly across the room and hurt someone, or shatter and send fragments EVERYWHERE..
I use them to hang plants off my steel window frames!

and keys from the front door. Ideas all inspired by AT's last post about them.
Wow, their power scares me.
WOW! this "magnetic" convesation pulled in quie a few Magnetic paint makers! Really, I had no idea this was such a thing! Sheesh!
Use a woodden board for this. I don't think landlords will consider a Magic wall of magnetic wonderfulness an upgrade. I don't care how cool it looks.
p.s. don't put them on your body, especially your weiner.
Actually, magnetic paint is a primer that gets normal paint over it (at least, the original Magnamagic is), so "how cool it looks" is irrelevant. There's nothing to see.
Some magnetic paints are *also* chalkboard paints, but that's just one variety. You can go magnetic without going chalkboard.
Be very, very careful with these. I read a news story last fall about a young child who swallowed some of these (they fell out of a toy) and died after they pinched off part of his intestine.
I use http://www.kjmagnetics.com/ ; they have great prices & have been very professional.
