1. A play device, which comprises:
a first side form assembly, which includes a first planar side form, a first plurality of magnets received and fixed within the first side form in planar relation, a plurality of thread holes through the first side form, and a first thread cover;
a second side form assembly, of similar size and shape as the first side form assembly, which includes a second planar side form, a second plurality of magnets received and fixed within the second side form in planar relation, a plurality of thread holes through the second side form, and a second thread cover;
a loop of thread which extends through the thread holes of the first side form and the second side form, ends of which are covered by the first thread cover and second thread cover, the thread flexibly connects the first side form assembly and the second side form assembly along a first axis;
each magnet of the first side form assembly having a polarity, and each magnet arranged with a same first polarity relative to the first axis;
each magnet of the second side form assembly having a polarity, and each magnet arranged with a same second polarity relative to the first axis, this second polarity being opposite to the first polarity;
the first and second side form assemblies arranged so that a user may grasp each side form assembly and move and twist each along the thread to different positions, to experience varying effects of magnetic fields of the first plurality of magnets relative to the second plurality of magnets.
