2Magnetic Hover

Fakes a magnetic pull: the element lifts toward the pointer and its icon leans further with an elastic ease. Class: fx-magnetic-hover

<div class="flex flex-wrap items-center justify-center gap-4 p-4 h-full" style="min-height:200px">
  <button type="button" class="btn btn-primary btn-lg rounded-full fx-magnetic-hover"><span>Let&#39;s talk</span> <span><i class="bi bi-arrow-right" aria-hidden="true"></i></span></button>
  <a href="#" class="btn btn-outline-primary rounded-full fx-magnetic-hover" aria-label="Send"><i class="bi bi-send-fill" aria-hidden="true"></i></a>
</div>

/* CSS (already in assets/css/effects.css) */
.fx-magnetic-hover { transition: transform .45s cubic-bezier(.34, 1.56, .64, 1), box-shadow .45s; }

Hover this title
