You have to make sure that the metal does not saturate, so it will work as long as you aren't using extremely powerful magnets
If you are trying to make a "magnet" with just one pole then you are wasting your time.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnetic_monopole

Would the magnetic field stop working altogether?
I am admittedly curious as to what would happen if you constructed a shielded magnet like the type shown in post number 6. Would the magnetic field stop working altogether?
I made a magnetic shield around the magnet, in fact I made a single-pole magnet.
That's not a monopole.
Please do this experiment:....
I suspect that the magnetic shield will now become the "missing" pole.

The magnetic field lines will flow through the shielding material from the enclosed pole and at the open end the field lines will try to take the shortest route to the open pole - the surrounding shielding will act as the opposite pole. You will have made something similar to a horseshoe magnet where one pole (the outer pole) surrounds the inner one, this means the field will not extend out as far as an unshielded pole. However, I think you will need to leave an air gap between the poles otherwise the field extent will be minimal.

How large is the magnet in your final project
Sprinkle iron filings on the paper, and tap it until they form into lines
