I may not be remembering the details of this correctly; so somebody please correct me if I'm wrong.

I did this experiment in elementary school:

1. Oxidize steel wool using a vinegar solution (inferring vinegar from unsuccessful Google search for this experiment, but it sounds right.)

2. Heat the resulting red oxide powder

The resulting black colored powder should be responsive to magnetic fields.

This experiment is detailed in a 1983 - 1985 World Book Encyclopedia if memory serves.
