The effect is weak, but it’s just about possible to feel it. There was a bit of a body modification trend many years ago of embedding a tiny neodymium magnet (those really strong ones) under the tip of your finger. The nerves in your finger are sensitive enough [that you can feel the AC current in wires as tiny vibrations](https://www.wired.com/2006/06/a-sixth-sense-for-a-wired-world/).
