Its hard to explain but suppose you make the frame of a cube
with magnetic rectangular prisms with the negative faces facing inward. Is it possible to place a positively charged
sphere in the center, and make the sphere be continuously
suspended within the frame of the cube.
 
No, it is not possible with permanent magnets.
 
and how would you create the mono-pole in the center?
These are interesting physics problems but there is no real world physical example.

While monopoles are not feasible, magnetic levitation is, and there are various curios that do that, but not passively.
