Default Magnetic hooks

I have a minor, yet uncomfortable, problem:
I have this habit to pick my midgehooks out of their boxes with the back-end
of my whipfinisher, which has a small but rather strong magnet on it. When
tying flies for the midgeswap it turned up that all the tiny hooks (about a
100 #24 hooks) became magnetic, so now they all stick together. I'm pretty
sure that there must be an easy solution for this, but somehow (is that dr.
Alzheimer knocking at my door?) I can't come up with the solution.
Any ideas out there?

TIA
