The copper pipe demo is one of my favorite ways to use the wonderful
neodymium magnets that we have.  Here is another one based on the same
principle (This assumes your magnets are cylindrical):

Roll the magnet down an inclined sheet of copper and see if it rolls
straight.  Then rotate the axis of the cylinder 180 degrees and roll it
again.

These make great beginning-of-the-year discrepant events to start things
off.  What are some other favorite beginning-of-the-year demos?
