This is no ordinary paperclip. It is made out of a special metal alloy that has two crystalin structures. One when cold and a different one when hot. While at room temperature, bend the paperclip into any shape you want as long as it does not contain knots and then drop the paperclip into hot water or hold it under a flame in front of someone and it will instantly revert back to the shape of a paperclip. It makes an impressive magic trick that people can't figure out. If you are looking for fun gifts around the Fairfax or Loudon county Virginia areas, I sell many unique novelties, magic tricks, fossils, crystals, and collectible coins and paper money that you won't find in stores. Please see my other ads because I have many interesting things for sale. Also, I am always buying coin and currency collections. If you have a collection that you would like to sell, please contact me. Thanks :-)
