If you place a brand-new razor inside a cardboard pyramid approximately six inches high, with magnets placed an inch to the north and south of the pyramid, and glasses of water an inch and a half to the east and west, and you do not disturb it, after ten days the razor will be as sharp as if no-one had ever used it!

I heard some crackpots talking about nonsense like this on the train the other day.
There is no magnetic field at the focal point of a pyramid.
Pick up a textbook and learn some science. Try reading about magnetic fields, and then it would be obvious why this question is preposterous.

Pyramids don't have focal points, ellipsoids (if that is the correct term for a 3-D ellipse) have focal points. Therefore your question is mute. Next!

There is no magnetic field there.
