The player reads a magnetic tape. Put the same stuff inside the cassette and reverse it, now the player reads a reader.

Instead of running a magnetic tape over the cassette player’s sensor, you put an electromagnet on it powered by the headphone jack. The cassette player just reads the magnetic field and doesn’t know any difference.
