Add field to Edit Account form in Magento

I'm adding a field to the template customer/form/edit.phtml. I used this code :

<li>
     <?php 
         $attribute = Mage::getModel('eav/config')->getAttribute('customer','code_magique');
     ?>
     <label for="code_magique" class="<?php if($attribute->getIsRequired() == true){?>required<?php } ?>"><?php if($attribute->getIsRequired() == true){?><em>*</em><?php } ?><?php echo $this->__('Code') ?></label>
     <div class="input-box">
         <input type="text" name="code_magique" id="code_magique" value="<?php echo $this->htmlEscape($this->getCustomer()->getData("code_magique")) ?>" title="<?php echo $this->__('Code') ?>" class="input-text" />                   
     </div>
</li>

This display a field with my "code_magique" attribute inside but when i try to modify this attribute, it doesn't work, did I forget something?

I did a quick look at AccountController.php, and it seems there is some postprocessing of form data, not the simple $model->addData($post);

Try hooking to customer_save_before event and adding your data manually.

Hopefully you know how to create anobserver and add data to model object?
