Apparently so, but it is said to be expensive.
The most effective commercially available magnetic shielding material is called Mumetal, and is an alloy of 5% Copper, 2% Chromium, 77% Nickel, and 16% Iron.

Yes, amazingly so but a superconductor can shield 100% a magnetic field.

There may be some new materials available that can do it.

I think any material will, given enough of the material. For example, if you try to put too much stuff under a fridge magnet it won't hold.

any diamagnetic or ferromagnetic material can shield magnetism. put a sheet of metal on your magent and 99.9% of the magentism is routed through the sheild and only a little passes through

To the laboratory!

Any diamagnetic object will do.
