Atmosphere is mostly held onto Earth by the magnetosphere generated by the planet's core.
When Earth's core cools enough, the atmosphere will fly away like Mars' and we'll all either become interstellar space colonists or dead. Given the way humans act in a disaster, probably dead.
I pride myself on always having the right answer. In this case, I just don't know enough to be useful.
I like the form of your question, though, because it's what I use to criticize runaway global warming: if you could put a thin layer of ozone around an iron ball and it automatically heats up, then why aren't we using miniature earths to boil water renewably for our power plants?
But the magnetic field of the earth is nowhere near strong enough to stop gas from expanding into an available volume / reach pressure equilibrium - as you no doubt already know.

Is there any experimental proof to magnets being able to hold in air against the suction force of a vacuum?

Grabbity.
Everything (with charge) is magnetic!
