Well it seems that with a strong enough magnet it would 'slightly' be effected but not much. No I'm no scientist, but this is a cool video with a simple explanation (well kind of) of how even aluminum can affect a magnet.

I worked at a recycling place that had a Eddie current system. Very large earth magnets. A conveyor belt carried things (small metal of all kinds along with dirt and foam rubber etc.) and basically threw this stuff over the magnet at a speed that the non metal things went farther than the metal. some how the magnet slowed the metal down enough to separate it from the other stuff. I really can't explain it to well but if you could see it in action you could under stand. I wonder if that is what got this whole thing started. This is the second one to come out.
