After I saw this post I did a little searching. You can buy the stuff easily but it's a little expensive...

I saw a post about a guy that made his own. Basically take magnetic toner cartridge powder (it's commonly used to make checks that can be franked). You mix the toner with oil (he used 30 weight motor oil) until you have a nice colloidal mix. Run a magnet under the mess and there you go... he does warn (and I know from experience!) do NOT get the powder on anything; it is a nightmare to clean... have fun maniacs!

The most exciting phrase to hear in science, the one that heralds new discoveries, is not "Eureka!" but "That's funny ..."
