Embodiments of this invention (“Clip”) include devices and methods for suspending multiple papers of any weight vertically with no damage to the papers or vertical surface, and less effort than the prior art. One embodiment is a novel paper fastener especially for vertical surfaces. This embodiment allows one or multiple sheets of paper to be suspended without damaging the paper or wall with holes and adhesive. The Clip employs the attraction of magnets such as neodymium magnets and requires only a short upward motion to initiate the suspension. Once suspended, the papers are held tightly, yet can be easily removed without damage. The Clip automatically resets to its receptive state upon removal of the papers. Another embodiment is semi-permanent and can be repositioned on any non-metallic surface. Still another embodiment can be repositioned on a metallic surface without compromising the holding or suspending abilities of the Clip.
