We made it!

Thank you so much everyone! I'm putting together some pictures and videos for the next update, but I wanted to acknowledge your wonderful support!

Stretch Goals?

I have a couple ideas for stretch goals, and I will try to include one in the next update.

Looking to the Future

Once the Kickstarter ends and I fulfill all rewards, I will offer the Counter Magnets and Accessories on my website, countermagnets.com. If you have pledged any amount to this Kickstarter, you will always get the pricing available in this campaign. For everyone else, the price will go up slightly.
