Most of the outer electrons in the metal alloy that make up the magnet spin in the same direction and in the same plane. This causes a magnetic field to surround the magnet. This magnetic field interacts with the outer electrons in other materials and if they too can be made to spin in the sme direction and will be attracted to the magnet. If the other material is a permanent magnet the fields can interact to attract each other or repel each other.
