Possible Safety Ban for Magnetic Pen

Andrew Gardner, creator of a pen made from modular magnets and pen parts called POLAR, had his recent Kickstarter manufacturing fundraiser for the pen close at 58 times the value he asked for-earning $817,164 in Canadian dollars rather than his requested $14,000. The enormous leap in fundraising volume for the pen is likely due to the massive interest its video demo generated online with major tech sites such as Wired and CNET. Now, however, that interest may have backfired-in the form of the ban by the Canadian government.
