The bit at the end with the Ferrofluid was pretty cool.

How hard is it to clean the stuff up? Looks like it went everywhere.

Does it dry out?

@jkiniston - I'd advise using gloves when working with ferrofluid -
It can be very difficult to clean up, and yes it does seem to dry out.

While recording, I had been keeping things relatively tidy until an unexpected magnet mishap occurred, splattering fluid all about my hands and workspace.

@Ola - No, and you can't make me =P
