Why not just clamp/glue the magnets together?

What could you use as a magnetic wave guide? Iron/nickel/aluminum?

Soft iron or wrought iron is good for magnetic fields.

I want to get around to trying this myself.

If it worked, I would use Mu/permalloy metal to lengthen the field, but I would imagine that as you lengthen the field, you also decrease the strength. That type of metal is supposedly what harddrive magnets are glued to.
Glue will work as long as the magnets are small enough and the strength of the magnets does not exceed the strenght of the glue. I may try it sometime. I would measure the weight of the magnets both attracting each other, then glue them together with super glue and weigh them again.

If the energy field effects gravity, what else does it affect?

Well,
If its ANTI-gravity, maybe it will lose the ability to reverse gravity as gravity is reduced. The further away from the attracting body the less pull. So, less repulsion for anti- gravity.
Maybe it would be like trying to swim in a vacuum.

Yes if it reduces gravity it should affect time. Hmmmm
