X MAG is not just a construction toy, but also a useful tool for
learning. Like the other famous building games, X MAG

stimulates the development of creative capacities, but more
than other similar games it has a unique and specific feature:
the power of magnetism. Using X MAG makes it possible to
demonstrate many fascinating phenomena with great simplicity,
finding the answers to various basic rules of nature and the
universe: from how a simple compass works - which so fascinated
even the young Einstein - to the great mysteries of the magnetic
field of the earth.
X MAG makes stimulating and creative what can often appear
boring and incomprehensible: this is the aspect which makes it
unique and different from all other construction systems. The
results achieved are intrinsically related to the magnetic force
of its bars, and the capacity to exploit the universal laws
which control this.
Plus… no noise and no waste of batteries or energy… just the
stimulation of the capacity to reflect, and to bring your own
fantasy and imagination into play.

X MAG is a widely appreciated pedagogical aid adapted both
to the development of expressive skills aimed at the
representation of objects and models of every shape, and to
making even the more complex scientific and technological
concepts more accessible. It is extremely useful for learning
the laws of geometry, physics and chemistry, subjects which are
often difficult to learn through textbooks, X MAG makes it
possible to learn correctly the primary concepts of space,
symmetry and three-dimensionality, or the more common sense of
proportion.
In Geometry, its application is obvious, from that of
planes to the three-dimensional. The simplicity with which the
various geometric forms can be studied progressively makes it
possible to combine theoretical and figurative research with
practical study. And so it becomes extremely easy to see how, in
just a few movements, we can go from one figure to another
considerably different. From the pure study of the geometrical
figures we shift easily into the use of X MAG as a support in
subjects such as geometrical drawing, orthogonal projections,
mechanical drawing and descriptive geometry in general.
The structures which can be made are of extraordinary help in
the study of chemistry; we can go from the perfect
reproduction of the molecules such as fullerenes (spherical
carbon molecules) through the simulation of the chemical bonds,
right up to the unit cells of crystallization of solid bodies
(body-centred and face-centred lattice).
In mathematics we can tackle the calculation of the
possibilities for the solution of a puzzle. For example, how
many ways are there of changing one form into another in just
five moves? Etc.

In static mechanics we can tackle the study of trellis
structures, with the opportunity of making practical
verifications of the supportable loads, the weak points, whether
a connection operates through traction (tension member) or
compression (raking strut). In the world of cinematics it can be
used to demonstrate the physical principles for energy
conservation, the gyroscopic effect etc. X MAG is often used in
studies by architects and engineers tackling the
simulation of complex structures in scale so as to test the
aesthetic and functional effect, as well as for studying new
forms with an extreme freedom of imagination and in a simple and
swift manner.
There are no age limits for X MAG because it appeals to
emotional aspects shared by all human beings. It's a pastime
suitable for children and adults, and it can be used anywhere:
at home, involving the whole family, while traveling or even in
the workplace. X MAG is also commonly considered a formidable
stress reliever. Allow yourself a relaxing break from work;
manipulating X MAG and turning it over in your hands will help
you to shed tension. And if you then place the model on your
desk it becomes an elegant decor accessory, with a
refined design just like one of those sophisticated and slightly
cerebral objects which we find artfully positioned on the desks
of businessmen. A perfect gift idea for anyone on any occasion,
whether it is given as an intelligent and fun gadget or
purchased for personal use.

To round off the extraordinary features of this amazing product,
it's also extremely interesting to note X MAG is widely
appreciated as a support in remedial and therapeutic activities.
Effectively X MAG is increasingly used in treating disturbances
connected with autism, as well as the rehabilitation of those
who have suffered traumas and need to regain psycho-motor skills
and manipulative sensibility. For all these reasons X MAG
confirms the versatility of the base concept and its true
uniqueness within the market.
