This video is informal and accessible, but there needs to be a list of necessary items in the description. My son is all excited to do this, and I am too, but we have no idea what kind of magnets those are (he says it twice, fast, and I can't figure out what they are) or where to get them. This is something we could figure out (and proceed with!) if it was WRITTEN in the description. Bummer!
ok, we figured it out with the magical help of Google and some guessing... it's NEODYMIUM magnets, we found a source here:

Don't know if you could get them at a place like Batteries Plus? We'll investigate...
