One tale I hold very dear to my heart is one my granny told me.
A friend of my grandmother is very fond of all the alternative cure
bullshit out and about. Her cure du jour a while ago was magnet
therapy.
She bought a magnet therapy bracelet and wore it for a day.
Can you guess what happened? :)
All her magnetic cards were erased!
I guess they improved her economy, if nothing else. ;)

I have one of those, kind of plated springy bracelet thing with little
balls with magnets in them at the ends. No way is it powerful enough to
wipe credit cards, but what it's *great* for is catching falling
circlips, washers and other such pingf**kits while working on the car,
or LA36.
