Levitating a magnet above another permanent magnet is impossible!
It doesn't matter how many permanent magnets you add to the system, it won't work!
To make it work, you need one of two things:
1. Make the magnet above spin (but it will stop eventually and fall down)
2. Use something to stabilize it.
There are lots of floating magnets gadgets that use electromagnets and a feedback sensor to stabilize the system.
I wanted to create an elementary static permanent magnet levitating system, so I used some thin sewing thread to stabilize it.
All you need to build this toy are 12 permanent magnets (10x3mm) and some sewing thread.
