Claim 3:
4. An expansion joint configured to span a gap having a width between a first architectural surface and a second architectural surface, comprising:
a panel sized to span the gap, the panel having a first surface and a second surface, the second surface being opposite the first surface;
a first bracket configured to couple to the first architectural surface and to the second surface of the panel;
a second bracket configured to couple to the second architectural surface and to the second surface of the panel; and
a first magnetic assembly comprising:
first magnetic structure coupled to the first bracket and magnetically coupled to the second surface of the panel, and
a first resilient structure positioned at least in part between the first magnetic structure and the first bracket such that the first resilient structure allows movement of the first magnetic structure in response to movement of the panel caused by a change in the width between the first architectural surface and the second architectural surface when the first bracket is coupled to the first architectural surface and the second bracket is coupled to the second architectural surface;

wherein the first resilient structure is comprised of rubber;
wherein the first resilient structure comprises a gasket;
wherein the gasket is a compression gasket.
