   Roll a 6-10 foot extension card in a loop, about 1 foot diameter.
   (anything from 8" or so ... a shape convenient to hold in the hand
   and still maintain a loop).  Plug one end into the AC outlet.

   Move the coil of wire around your screen in a circular pattern
   (once is usually enough) but when you come to the end of your
   circle, slowly draw the coil of wire away from the screen.

You've got to be kidding.  If one end is plugged into an outlet, and the other
end isn't connected to anything, then no current flows through the wires, no
magnetic field is generated, and nothing interesting happens.  Or is the
placebo effect supposed to solve this problem?  :-)
