 In a scene straight out of the 1958 horror flick “The Blob,” a new YouTube clip shows a lump of magnetic silly putty completely engulfing a magnet.

The event, captured by YouTube user Scott Lawson, actually took an hour and a half, but luckily we’re treated to a time-lapse view.

How does it work? “Ferromagnetic particles in the putty are strongly attracted to the magnet and very slowly engulf the surface of the magnet,” Lawson wrote in the video’s description. “The putty looks and feels like regular silly putty, but the difference lies in the fact that it has been infused with millions of micron-sized ferrous particles.”
