    Abstract: An amusement device allowing a user to move magnetic members in three dimensions is presented. The method enables a group of magnetic members to be attracted and repelled along three dimensional paths defined by non-magnetic tracks (30). Relative alignment of the magnetic members to maintain the attractive and repulsive orientations is achieved by passing the non-magnetic tracks (30) through the magnetic members. A user manipulates a group of magnets (40) by interacting with one or more of them. For example, the user can repel a group of magnets (40) along the three-dimensional path by pushing only one of the magnets (45) in the group. The magnetic members can have many different shapes, colors, sizes, magnetic strengths, and textures. These devices can be found in the home and in many other settings such as waiting rooms, daycares, classrooms, and hospitals.
