Could plastic be one of the materials that does the trick? And is it good enough if the attraction or pull is strong enough, what's strong enough to block ALL of that? Lead (yes no, if yes, anything safer then that)?

I don't want to tuch lead, anything safer that does as good or almost as good of a job?

So anything that doesn’t have properties of: iron, copper, nickle, or zink should do the trick? Which one is the most dense then so I can use less of it on a really strong magnet?
(NOT lead though)

Ok strong, but not as strong as superconductor stuff... (I didn't even know magnetic fields could even BE THAT strong sheesh wow).

has to be metal, preferably in several sheets not touching each other. Wood and plastic do not stop magnetic field.
Thick piece of lead would definitely work, and is completely safe (as long as you do not drop it on your foot and wash your hands afterwards)

A magnet is an merchandise that has a magnetic container. it is interior the variety of an enduring magnet or an electromagnet. everlasting magnets do no longer remember upon outdoors impacts to generate their container. They take place for sure in some rocks, yet can be synthetic. Electromagnets remember upon electric present day to generate a magnetic container - while the present will boost, so does the sector. Magnets have an interest in, or repelled by, different components. a fabric it particularly is strongly involved in a magnet is asserted to have a extreme permeability. Examples of fabric with very extreme permeability incorporate iron and metallic. Liquid oxygen is an occasion of something with a low permeability, and it is barely weakly involved in a magnetic container. Water has this form of low permeability that it is unquestionably particularly repelled by magnetic fields. each and every thing has a measurable permeability: human beings, gases, or maybe the vacuum of outer area. The SI unit of magnetic container potential is the tesla, and the SI unit of complete magnetic flux is the weber. a million weber = a million tesla flowing by a million sq. meter, and is an fairly great quantity of magnetic flux.

A ferromagnetic material like iron would concentrate the flux lines but wouldn't prevent all from penetrating. The only impenetrable barrier is a superconductor. And then, only as long as the magnetic field wasn't so strong as to quench superconductivity.

your ? is a little tuff to under stand
but yes plastic or lead are not attrated to magnets
iron copper nickle and zink are the only 4 metals that are
so anything other than that should do the trick

by far the best thing to put between a magnet and something else to prevent attraction is a lot of space. the more space your put between the magnet and the object, the less attraction there is.
dumbos-please dont just make dumbo guesses like "rubber". either provide a reasonable answer or at least something funny or sarcastic or something, not just something dumbo.

Usually mu-metal is used for this. It has a very high permeability. Soft iron is a reasonable substitute, and easier to obtain, it shields magnetic fields quite well.

i think a peice of rubber may do the trick

I'd go with lead.
