This automagically morphing blob of Silly Putty is based in science, silly, not witchcraft.

But how does one go about creating a freaky blob of magnet-devouring goodness? Instructables member Michael Saurus lays out a parts list:

Tools:

– disposable gloves (latex or other)

– disposable face mask

– disposable work area (paper plate)

Materials:

– Thinking (Silly) Putty ($2.00 or less) – any colour

– ferric iron oxide powder (artist supply stores)

– neodymium magnet

After that, it’s up to you to follow his simple-yet-amazing/freaky experiment to its conclusion. Check the video—that hellspawned putty ball eats magnets! [Instructables]
