Stick the magnets on the boxes on repelling poles. Just stick one magnet under the smaller box and stick the other one on the bigger box. The magnets should repel when faced together.

There you have it! The smaller box should float when placed in the bigger box when in open position. The magnetic float allows the smaller box to be taken out easily from the bigger box. Thanks for viewing!
