There is no such thing as a beam of magnetism. There is no magnetic monopole. Magnetism does not travel. It is a static field. A ferromagnetic material will concentrate the lines of flux. If you place an iron bar across the poles of a horseshoe magnet, nearly all the flux will stay within the bar. This is because the magnetic susceptability and permeability of iron is very different from that of air. You could call that focusing if you want, but I think it's misleading.

There is no such thing as a uni-pole magnetic field. It leaves the north pole and joins up with the south pole. A material can be either penetrated by the field or absorbed by the field, but a material which reflects the field (necessary for your parabola theory) isn't known to exist. This is true of only the magnetic field, and doesn't hold true to electromagnetic waves.

Magnetism must stretch in all three dimensions, because it is polar; that is, a magnet must have two poles.
You can concentrate various forms of electromagnetic radiation, like microwaves or radiowaves, or light, but then you are concentrating the electric field in one direction, not the magnetic field.
One can increase the strength of a magnet by passing it through an electric field, though.
But one cannot direct its force in a single direction, as in a laser...unless you can break down the Higgs field, destroying the universe...
Sorry to be so complicated...
