It shouldn't be a problem to do this. All you need is a big
enough chunk of magnetic monopole. Don't have any here, but
maybe you should try Edmund's.

If that doesn't work well enough, Stephen Hawkins would likely
recommend a piece of black hole. I'd avoid this, however. May
tend to stain the carpet.
