Core

Hi there Schpankme,
No since its field will just latch onto the secondary C core at the moment when gets close to it. And besides that you don't want a coil over a magnet since the permanent magnet is just that, 'permanent' and you are not supposed to enforcese a magnetic field directly upon its structure, if you do you can/will waste the magnet.

So as in the video what you want the flux from the magnet to be 'steered' to add to the overall strength of the coil's initial input field. What you want other words is that the coil on the main core section will 'saturate' that core section onto it is wound. So when that happens the flux from the magnet must seek another 'path of least resistance' and will jump the air gap (paper) and will go trough the secondary core. So this will add to the magnetic field of the coil. And when the coil is turned off, the field of the magnet will return again to the primary core as a preferred path of least resistance. So the secondary core is again free to move.

See the attached picture.
