I just did. I actually works without an account. Learn something new every day. Of course that trick has been around forever using a straight pin or needle. I think (?) it was even done by McGyver.

The tweezers are magnetized by rubbing with (suggested) wool or nylon material.  Then the tweezers are placed on a small leaf and floated on water.  The floating tweezers will point the tweezers in North/South.

Thanks Kosmo. Now I know how to get Youtube videos (not that most are worth watching). I thought you had to have an account to use Youtube; not that I'll be uploading anything.

"Magnetize a needle by stroking it in one direction several times
with a magnet, or touching one end with one end (side) of a magnet and then touching the other end with the other end (side) of the magnet; then float it on water in a cup; one end will point north.  A needle can be magnetized by rubbing it vigorously on a silk “pocket square”; float it on a leaf."
