the magnet, not the card.

but if you do it may mess up the polarity in your tv and therefore leave strange colors on the screen. I had a tv bulb replaced one time and that was the case.

Yeah...I should have put a warning on that statement. Some people may actually be dumb enough to try it.

Fun fact: Placing a super powerful magnet near your hard drive magically ejects 5 million dollars from your disk drive!
