Default Resetting Tire Sensors

I remember some posts about resetting the TPMs w/o using a tool, but just using magnet(s) instead. Does that really work?? If so, how can you do this? I had one of mine replaced at Discount tire but it wasn't on the car at the time so they didn't relearn the sensor.

Thanks
