you might be able to move a small object (that can be attracted to a magnet - iron, nickel, tin, but not copper or aluminum) with a strong enough magnet from a meter away.
BUT:
it is more likely that the object would jump to the magnet, not move along the table.
we know that strong magnetic fields can pull some metals (as above, those that are attracted to magnets) long distances
that's why you have to remove all metal when getting an MRI(?) CAT Scan (?)
you want a table with no metal, since you don't want the table pulled to the magnet
you can do the magnet under the table trick, as Easy peasy says
(still don't want metal under the table, as the magnet under the table will "stick" to the frame)
there is no such thing as a magnetic wave
but there are electromagnetic waves - what most people call radio waves, microwaves and light, etc.
if you could broadcast a large enough (radio) signal, then the tiny current induced in a receiving antenna
may, in the earth's magnetic field, cause the antenna to oscillate enough to see and or measure
but I don't think you'll move it along the table, and there are a whole list of technical difficulties, including the
power needed to broadcast a strong enough signal
