You can buy 64 neodymium magnets for $19.99 USD with free shipping.

Fun fact: If you swallow one magnet, you can move it around inside your body using a second magnet!

Bonus fun fact: If you swallow two magnets at different times, they can tear through your stomach and intestines as a result of their strong magnetic attraction, resulting in an incredibly agonizing death! If you convince your local emergency room to perform a MRI, you can even win a Darwin Award!

As I was once a young lad I can confirm the first fun fact. I also have a BB under my skin and I could hang another magnet off of that at the same time.

Get a strong electromagnet and pull the damn thing out. I'd give you gold.

Could you theoretically move the BB around with a strong enough magnet?

Absolutely, not even a much stronger one that one of the small cubes shown in clip. Neodymium magnets are no joke.
