Awesome demo of how superconducting magnet trains work

I just learned the other day that superconductors have a tendency to stay a specific distance away from magnets. That means that they repel away, generating almost no friction, but also don’t flying away off the track, as another magnet would if you were to try to run it over other magnets. Now… where can I get my hands on a super conductor and some liquid nitrogen to cool it?

This is some French guy making a little superconductor train out of a bunch of magnets and a cup of magic potion.
