As far as I am aware you need multiple magnets to make this happen, just one will cause it to "fall" off. In the video it's just one magnet, and it doesn't try to "slide" away when it's moved past the edge of the magnet. That's a strong indicator of quantum locking.
I am not an expert in this field though.

- SiempreViernes 3y agoThey don't show the actual field of the big metallic cylinder, so you can't rule out a situation as shown at the start of this video: https://youtu.be/D-tW8_SRW3g https://youtu.be/D-tW8_SRW3g where two identically looking objects are revealed to have very different magnetic fields. Whether it makes sense to say the multipole magnet is "multiple magnets" is a philosophical debate in itself.
