Perhaps it has something to do with aluminum being a slightly magnetic
material?

 Aluminum? Yes, aluminum. Remember, the first two letters of the phrase
"Alnico Magnet" represents the element aluminum. It is slightly magnetic,
but most people don't realize that. I should add that by "magnetic" I mean
it is attracted to magnetic fields, just as a block of iron would be, only
the effect is *much* weaker.
