I think its just moving the electron beams which are then hitting the wrong phosphors.

You can also buy these from an Edmund's Scientifics catalog as "Bucky Balls"
They are cool,but you do need to be careful when it comes to these.

Old-style TV sets use an electron particle accelerator to paint the image on the screen. Electromagnets cause the particle beam to deflect too rapidly for human eyes to detect. (Wave a pencil in front of the screen, the pencil shadow will bend.)

If your screen gets colored by a large magnet, you can sometimes use the same magnet to fix the problem. Sweep the magnet in a spiral pattern ending in the center of the screen, then pull it away. Then turn it over and push it into the center.

:> No idea dude,even fridge magnets fuck up the screen...but when the magnets are so/so you can't take the skrew color off...you can take it off only i taking the magnet really close,and it may fuck it up even harder so...it's pretty dangerous...
