  We describe the design, assembly, and testing of a magnet intended to deflect
beams of paramagnetic nanoclusters, molecules, and atoms. It is energized by
high-grade permanent neodymium magnets. This offers a convenient option in
terms of cost, portability, and scalability of the construction, while
providing field and gradient values (1.1 T, 330 T/m) which are fully comparable
with commonly used electromagnet deflectors.
