A magnetic drain stopper for use in a basin drain. A stopper is disposed for reciprocation in the drain pipe and includes a stopper magnet. A curvilinear actuator outside the drain pipe supports one or more driver magnets for movement in a non-linear path toward and away from the stopper magnet. When moved toward the stopper magnet, the driver magnets induce the stopper to lift away from a sealed condition so that water can exit the basin. The curvilinear actuator may include a generally cylindrical base captured in a sleeve-like hinge bracket. A control rod is coupled to a push rod that receives manual input from a user. A pair of flanking legs may be attached to the ends of the base, with each leg carrying a driver magnet half. The curvilinear actuator may include an optional draw-down magnet to hold the stopper in its sealed condition.
