if placed gently in the vicinity of a strong magnetic field and not too close, the tape will degenerate quickly but not instantly.

Move it through the magnetic field, though, and the magnetic material on the tape may develop minature electrical eddy currents that, in turn, produce a countervailing magnetic field -- and everything will be gone pretty much instantly
