Excellent! It is always nice to see people asking questions - the journey towards the answer should prove most enlightening! :-D

Need a bigger magnet.

Also, how do they work?

Real, totally heavily simplified answer. All atoms could be magnets, but most don't have a force because the electron orbitals aren't out enough. In fact just about everything can be explained by what the electron orbitals are doing. Even why the chair you're sitting in feels solid. It's the orbitals. See Richard Feynman's bit on magnets and the deeper lesson on knowing the right questions to ask.

Did you try flipping the magnet over? If you put the two north ends together they’ll repel instead of attract.
