It will work.  I have a very powerful magnet that has about 500 lbs. of 
force.  If I put this magnet on a piece of steel I can not get it off
with 
out a pry bar.  I put the 7" dia. magnet on top of a 4" secondary coil
like a 
toroid and turned on the TC.  It has no visable effects on the sparks 
output or my TC.
