> at 2:55 you can see us starting to play with the magnet, which causes all
> the little filings to change direction to follow the magnetic field.
>
> at 3:55 you can see the whole screen get lighter and darker as the magnet
> causes the filings to line up in the path of the light so they have a
> smaller profile, and they don't block as much light.
>
> at 4:33 you can see the projector and the magnet being moved around it
> near where the slide is.
