To increase the strength of a magnet you need to stack it between two stronger magnets or electromagnets. To weaken it, you'd have to heat it up, or use the same method as when strengthening, only this time you should flip the magnet so it would repel the stronger (electro)magnets.

Why is it inadvisable to make a horseshoe magnet from a flexible material?
A horseshoe magnet has a North pole one one of the feet and a south pole on the other. A magnet made of flexible material would collapse on itself as the two poles attract.
Can a magnet be broken?
Not exactly. All pieces of the magnet retain their ferrous properties, but if they were (for example) dropped, then the shock of the fall could potentially make them lose a bit of magnetism. Extreme temperature changes and high power electric discharges could also decrease the power of the magnet.
What is the scientific name of a magnet?
magnet :)
When was first magnet made?
Magnets first occurred naturally, so "before Man" would be your answer.
What is a lifting magnet?
A lifting magnet is an electromagnet that is meant to hold or move material that comes in contact with the magnet. This is the opposite of a traction magnet.

Dropping or heating a magnet will not weaken it because the domains will stay in alignment?
When you drop or heat a magnet, the domains may temporarily lose alignment, but once the magnet stops moving or cools down, the domains will realign and the magnet's strength will return. Dropping or heating a magnet will not permanently weaken it.
Will placing a magnet on concrete damage it?
I don't have an answer but we have several large magnets in the shop I work in. It would appear that when we lower the cranes down and place the magnets directly on the concrete floor it tends to weaken them. I have always heard that placing a car battery on concrete would weaken the battery . Does a magnet act in the same fashion?
Will water weaken a magnet?
Water can temporarily weaken a magnet by disrupting the magnetic force between its molecules. However, once the water is removed and the magnet is dried thoroughly, its magnetic strength should return to normal. Prolonged exposure to water can cause rusting and permanent damage to the magnet.
