I think there's some confusion here about what a magnet is. A magnet is a substance in which the magnetic moments of individual atoms are on the average aligned, which produces the magnetic field allows you to stick papers to your fridge.
Unfortunately, glass is not a substance which can acquire a strong magnetization... in physics the term 'glass' even refers to a disordered form of matter; so no long range ordering that is required for a magnet is possible.
I think you mean that you put a charge on to some glass pieces, making them a not a magnet, but just charged pieces of glass.
I suggest shocking somebody, preferably when they don't know its coming. If you want to do something science-y then try picking up little pieces of lint with them; light objects, even if they don't have any net charge on them, will be attracted to the pieces.
For a better explanation on the physics use of the word glass when it comes to magnetic stuff, see the wikipedia link.

put the two glass pieces parallel to each other. and then you can get a magnetic field. if you add current to it, you can have an electromagnetic field.

Static electricity, ehHh..? You can use a leyden jar, I suppose to collect the charges... then use it for your future experiment.

I didn't know that glass would conduct electricity------
how much current does it draw?

if you could discharge your electricity from the glass then boyo you have something nasa could use.
