I discovered something similar a couple of years ago using the flat, rubbery fridge magnets which have magnetic material mixed through a polymer of some kind, the ones with calendars or business card info or the like printed on them. I demonstrated if a few times to friends who were quite impressed.I found it worked short term only. I think that the magnetic material in the fridge magnet saturated over time and they lost their effect when that occurred. Remove them for a while, replace them on a component case, and there the effect was again. Play stuff for a few days, remove them, and notice no effect on removal but wait a few days and repeat, and there it was back again.
I gave up on it for that reason. It's a great parlour game and seems guaranteed to wow people whenever I do it again in public but the effect simply didn't last.
Makes me wonder, however, about some of the 'brick' ideas which contained a large amount of magnetic/magnetisable material that were intended to be placed above transformers.
