Is there such thing as human magnets? Hmm....
Looks, compelling, huh? Notice how the father has to place objects carefully in certain places. If this child were magnetic, it wouldn't take fixing it into place to make them stay.
A great article said;
"Another human magnet, apparently on the cutting edge of science, proudly shows off a couple of meat cleavers stuck to his bare chest. Of course it is not the edge but the flat side of the cleaver that is stuck to the skin. And therein lies a clue. The objects that stick to these human magnets always have a smooth surface. Have you ever cut a potato with a sharp knife that has a wide blade? It can be quite a challenge to unstick the knife from the potato. Smooth surfaces brought together will stick, especially when they are separated by a thin layer of liquid! Pressing smooth objects to greasy skin creates a suction cup-like effect, especially when the subjects tilt themselves backwards as they tend to do. And some people really do produce especially sticky sweat. There's even a condition known as `acquired cutaneous adhesion syndrome.'"
Here's a pic of my son's amazing talent--whatcha think? He has a magnetic personality, but hardly a magnetic body!
Wondering if I might have a talent like that boy in the video above, I checked it out. I just set the spoons on my chest, standing upright, doing nothing special or preparatory and voila! I'm "magnetic!"
