Liquid oxygen is magnetic too (I think para in this case)

  That's mentioned at the bottom: "However, liquid oxygen and boron fullerenes (B80) are paramagnetic."

  Wonder if you could use that to separate gasses. I also wonder about "sorting" atoms/molecules like Maxwell's demon: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maxwell%27s_demon

    It's probably possible, but probably is less practical than other methods.

  There are very specific about including 'metals' in every statement. Yep, paramagnetic non metals are: Oxygen (commonly shown on youtube), Nitric Oxide, Boron, Sulfur and some graphites (very slight) due to delocalised electrons.
