No prizes for guessing how the makers managed to bring to life a concept so brilliant. These brilliant blocks appear to be levitating and yes, well guessed; it’s some simple magnetic principles that make it all happen. What makes the magic happen is the way the blocks arrange themselves with equidistant vacuums. They mean to pass a hint that you can keep light objects like a telephone on it, by illustrating the same in the picture, but I wonder if you can slide in your newspapers between the levitating blocks.

Also remember, your electronics are in mortal peril around this thing, with all the magnetism and stuff. So the telephone on it is pretty much an open gateway for disaster.
