Brazil boy seems to attract metal objects

Brazil boy seems to attract metal objects

www.cbsnews.com

An 11-year-old boy in Brazil's northeastern city of Mossoro is drawing attention with his purportedly magnet-like qualities.

The Globo TV network has broadcast images of Paulo David Amorim demonstrating how forks, knives, scissors, cooking pans, cameras and other metal objects seem drawn to his body and remain stuck on his chest, stomach and back.

The boy's father tells Globo that he decided to test his son after learning of a boy in Croatia with a similar ability. Junior Amorim says he was surprised to find "a fork and knife stuck to his body."

The youth says classmates call him "magnet boy."

Dr. Dix-Sept Rosado Sobrinho tells Globo it is the first time in his 30-year career that he has seen a case like this.

Attractive lad, he does seem to have a magnetic personality. Real or hoax? It is reported by CBS so who can you trust?

Now there is a boy in Croatia with similar ability. Is this the start of something big? Are we experiencing the arrival of Homo Novus?

I wonder if it works for picking up girls?? That could be a nice talent for this boy to learn. His magnetic personality is bound to give him some sort of social edge.

Here's a video of it I found on YouTube.



I dunno, seems logical to assume that being obese and leaning back would cause metal to stick to you. Wouldn't it makes more sense to test him with some kind of device that detects a magnetic charge? A compass should definitely go haywire when placed near him.

This is just so wrong...lol

Cool story tho...I truly hope that it turns out to be a POSITIVE thing in his life and not a NEGATIVE.

He'll never have a problem finding that loose change under the couch cushions.

Yes this is an ability some people have it fascinates me an is one of the areas of human potential that I currently study.


Mark does a really good job of describing some theory behind this.

Wow. After watching that video it seems a lot more impressive than "Coins stick to soda covered fat kid".

Could this be something possibly caused by radiation or something chemically, interacting with the iron in his blood stream?

It appears it is only attracted to his chest area with which the heart being located there it appears would have the largest concentration of blood iron at any given moment?

Man he could be the real Magneto after all Magneto has that power of attracting metals

The above video shows a family of "magnet-men" and it sticks to their heads as well. I don't think I would want my feet to attract objects if I planned to continue walking barefoot at the beach.

This is all a bunch of crap! Sorry. But I remember doing this stuff when I was a kid. Just wipe off the oils on your face and body with a paper towel and almost anything with a smooth surface will stick to you. I bet you most anybody on here can repeat this same "fantastic phenomenon." I can still do it with my forehead and nose, but the rest of my body is wookie-like, so not enough skin contact.

Totally agree - why is it that every magneto person has to lean back slightly to keep the metal objects attached to them?

Show me somebody that can move around iron filings through a glass sheet, or that can hang from a junkyard electromagnet or similar... then I'll be impressed. Throwing coins on a sweaty fat kid's angled chest just doesn't cut it.

This bag of tricks is so old, I can't believe people still fall for it.

I can't help but feel bad for any one who does.

Sorry in my to quick to post mode I only watched the first video, The family of "magnet-men" could possibly be the same with the brain holding much blood in a relatively concentrated area.

interesting none the less!

while I se how that could explain the coins, How does it explain the cast iron skillets and weights?

I have 2 nickles stuck to my forehead right now! Professor Xavier better watch out for me.

That's pretty bizarre, especially the glass.

I think it has to do with subtle energy or a property of energy referred to as yin. This is not a mystical property but a descriptive of an effect. Yin = to draw in. The body has the ability to naturally draw Electro magnetic fields. No magic this is natural law. On the flip side of this coin the body can redirect this emf to an earth.
Below I have provided an experiment you can do at home to prove this to yourself.


You can also also use this subtle energy effect to pull objects towards you. It requires paying attention to the subtle properties of your biofield

Look at the kid when they put the skillets and weights on him. He is leaning back, and the thing even begin to fall forward when he talks at one point. I'm sure if I had a belly that was shaped like a shelf I could put things there too.

This is no different than a pregnant woman joking around by using her stomach to hold a can of soda.

I also noticed that in every video, they are leaning back or standing straight up. I assume that's because the second they lean forward, everything goes falling to the floor.

If its true, I will finally get the wish I wanted...which was to be Magneto!

A lot of the stuff they show sticking isn't particularly magnetic - coins don't tend to be for instance, and I don't have any flatware that's magnetic, although I guess you'd have to spot check any particular ones, most are either aluminum or some non-mag stainless steel alloy.

Why use random objects? A compass or a magnetic field probe would be better and would get past the "sticky kid" syndrome.

Coins and stainless flat ware are not magnetic
parlor trick in my opinion
