Tell you what. Watch this and tell me science isn’t cool. Dare you! What is happening to the magnet? TruthSeekerDaily explains:

When a magnet is dropped down a conducting copper pipe, it feels a resistive force (assuming that magnets have feelings).

Thus, the magnet is “repelled” and falls more slowly.

So, now you know the ‘trick.’ Does knowing make it any less cool? Nope!
