Yes, a magnet can attract a thumbtack if the thumbtack is made of a ferromagnetic material, such as iron. The magnetic field of the magnet induces a magnetic force on the thumbtack, causing it to be pulled toward the magnet. However, if the thumbtack is made from a non-magnetic material, such as plastic, it will not be attracted.
