A compact permanent magnet structure is provided to produce a uniform magnetic biasing field confined to an internal cavity of a cylindrical magnetic flux source which eliminates the drawbacks, shortcomings, limitations and difficulties associated with an elongated magic ring. The compact permanent magnet structure is composed of a cylindrical magnetic flux source with a cylindrical axis, a hollow central cavity, an inner diameter and a remanence perpendicular to said cylindrical axis. The ends of the cylindrical magnetic flux source are capped by a first magnetic flux source and a second magnetic flux source. The compact permanent magnet structure produces a uniform biasing field by capping the end of the cylindrical magnetic flux source with a hemispheric section of a magic sphere having a cavity diameter and shell axis equivalent to the magic ring. The cylindrical magnetic flux source can be a magic ring and the caps can either be geometric or parametric. A method for producing the uniform magnetic biasing field in a compact permanent magnet structure is also provided.
