Demagnetize CDs

About 25 years ago I bought "The Bedini Clarifier" which can be held in the hand & spins the disc & theoretically "demagnetizes" it.  I hadn't used it for most of those 25 years, but a few nights ago, just for the helluvit, I broke it out & spun my discs before I listened to them.  I was spinning my Sheffield XLO Test & Burnin CD (I enjoy listening to Rodger & Doug's walk around) with one hand & multitasking with the other hand, and I cocked the Bedini a bit too much over to one side, and the spinning disc started banging agaist the top of the Bedini & then it flew off & propelled across the room.  Scarred & scratched.  Unusable.  My bad.

Yes, @4krowme  , The Bedini Clarifier most definitely did have an effect. 

A cursory internet search on the subject yields opinions from people who claim that, even though aluminum is virtually non magnetic, when exposed to the inner workings of a CD player, CDs do develop a magnetic field.

I will (probably) say no more.
