Magnets have been used in a number of dental practices and reconstructive surgeries for several years now, but they haven't really been used in modification until recently. Magnetic implants typically involve having magnets placed under the skin, which allow you to attach magnetic materials to the outside of the skin and have the items hold in place.
The problem is getting magnets that are strong enough that can still hold a strong magnetic field between the skin tissues.
Jesse Jarrell and Steve Haworth are currently working on ways to make magnetic implants safe and more viable as a long term modification, but to date, there have been many complications and problems associated with magnetic implants.
Jesse and Steve have developed magnetic implacts that are small and for the most part strong, but they still aren't perfect yet. They used neodymium iron boron alloy with a thin gold plating encapsulated in silicone in a number of people, who have been satisfied with the result, but at the same time many of these people have developed problems and needed them to be removed.
The main concern with Jesse and Steve's current magnetic implants is that the silicone covering can rupture, which will bring the metal into direct contact with bodily tissues and will quickly break down within the body.

Cheryl, in a way it's kind of neat, but like you said it'd be a shock to walk by a desk and pick up all the paper clips on your hand or something.
