Ye I'm aware that the flame is plasma an full of moving ions that will be deflected by a MF.
But
in this case the guy placed the flame between a strong N-S field and the flame varied with the height of the field relative to the flame:
Low down: bigger flame
higher up: smaller.
That's why its possible the candle was getting slightly more O2 IMHO.
Could be the shape of the field was spreading the + and - ions out from low down and squeezing them higher up. A bit of both..?
