Magnetism or metal levitation is a cool nature power.
Wonder how it works?
What brings the levitation available?
It's a interesting subject.
How many much more do you want?
:P :P :P

Simple answer: African magic that my tribal elder told me to stay away from

But seriously though...

Hmm feel a little too lazy to look back in my textbook or use an online resource, so I'll try to do this by memory. I know... I know... some guy that is very serious about science will probably be miffed at me for doing this if I am incorrect, but hey I was waiting on someone else to answer the question.

bear with me I'll probably suck at explaining this

The magnet has a north pole and a south pole. The north pole exerts something called a B field coming out of it, and the south pole has a B field going into it. My textbook didn't explain why some materials are considered magnetic and others are not magnetic (maybe it did and I am blind as f--k as my cousins would say), but the effect of magnetism only works on materials that are magnetic such as iron. Either end of a magnet would be attracted to a magnetic material, and if you were to bring two different ends of a magnet together, they would be attracted to each other. It makes sense to me since the negative end has a B field that goes into it and the positive end has a B field that comes out. Bring two of the same ends together and you'll notice there is repulsion. I'd say that the repulsion is there because they have the same B field, so this should probably answer your second question.

On the topic of electromagnetism, let's say you have a bar magnet. If you were to cut the bar magnet in half, you would actually get two magnets that both have a north pole and a south pole instead of a separate north and south, but each has half the strength of the original magnet.

I would like to say this is a thread about science and not culture, so let's keep it that way.

Sir Issac Newton said

"I deduced that the forces which keep the planets in their orbs must be reciprocally as the squares of their distances from the centers about which they revolve; and thereby compared the force requisite to keep the Moon in her orb with the force of gravity at the surface of the Earth; and found them answer pretty nearly."

Something quick I learned from Physics

If you bring a magnet close to a closed loop circuit, you can actually induce a current temporarily. This is a principle of Faraday's law. Make RuneScape Great Again usually on at 3:00 PM PST
