The permanent magnet is movable between a first position, where the permanent magnet is proximate the play surface and a second position, where the permanent magnet is distally located from the play surface. The permanent magnet is movable by an actuator coupled to a linkage assembly to move the permanent magnet between the first position and the second position.
