"Wipe" is different to "ruin." You'll probably mess up quite a few sectors of a floppy with a couple of passes of a magnet so that it won't read, though data might be recoverable with a disk doctor program. (Source: did this in an ill-advised schoolroom prank in high school with a small horseshoe magnet to a fellow student's Apple IIe boot disk.)
