A ferrofluid is a suspension of ferromagnetic particles which behaves much as you describe your "magneclay", form-able into shapes with magnetic fields. (The current form of the stuff is rather messy, however, and some sort of surface film would be needed to contain the fluid and allow touch.) With a proper ferrofluid formulation, your concept can be fully realizable. Check chemistry literature for the hard details, or just search for "ferofluid" at youtube.com to see the stuff in action.

Why not use the same concept as those things you can currently buy which you can press against your hand or face and they leave an impression? In theory, surely, this could be possible now.
