How To Perform The Experiment

Make a tube shape out of the transparent support  and tape it. The diameter should be slightly larger than the round magnets.

Stack Magnets with identical poles facing.

Observe stable levitation.

Experiment with more magnets. 

Scientific Principle

Like magnetic poles repel each other. The guide tube constrains lateral motion, allowing stable vertical levitation.
