Finding dent ball exact location

Some might already be familiar with this trick. For those who aren't, you might notice it is sometimes hard to know a dent ball's exact location under the sax body. You can see through some tone holes, use a laser pointer, know by working, etc. but it is still hard sometimes. One method to know the exact location is to use a very small but relatively strong ball magnet on the sax body from the outside. It will magnet to the very point of the dent ball where it is touching the sax.

Where to get this magnet... probably possible from many source but I use one of the spares I got with the Neocube. Honestly I bought it because I thought it would be fun but mainly for using in dent removal for this purpose. In the end I like playing with it so much dent removal became a minor almost insignificant reason to buy it :)
For anyone not familiar with it, these are many small ball magnets that you can make all sorts of shapes from. Here are some I made. You can look for it on YouTube to see more.
