We present magneto-optical measurements on two liquid crystals that exhibit a wide temperature-range amorphous blue phase (BPIII). Magnetic fields up to 25 T are found to suppress the onset of BPIII in both materials by almost 1 degrees C. This effect appears to increase nonlinearly with the field strength. The effect of high fields on established BPIIIs is also reported, in which we find significant hysteresis and very slow dynamics. Possible explanations of these results are discussed.
