If anyone can explain this that would be great.
Short version or long version?
Long version: Aluminium is not a magnetic material so whatever was sticking that aluminium key to your chest, it was not magnetism.

The funny thing is, the woman in the back is wearing a shirt that says “Yes on HB 248” (House Bill 248 | The Ohio Legislature) which is the bill the woman in the video is trying to support with her magnetic charms.
