Default Binder clip method

Anyone care to explain how to use binder clips to hold up lifters on M8 during a cam swap? Or better yet will the U shaped magnets that are sold for twin cams work on a M8 to hold the lifters up?

Just found a YouTube video that explained the binder clip method
But I would still like to know if the twin cam lifter magnets would work on a M8?

just take the lifters out,by the time your jacking around with clips & having them fall off the magnets,you could have had them out & in again (good time to inspect them anyway)
