Brazil boy seems to attract metal objects

I placed a fork on my chest and it stuck until I leaned forward, no luck with the clothes iron though.

I have influenced drops of oil placed in a bowl of water by positioning my hands near the bowl and holding them still. It appears there could be some subtle energy, body electricity. I think what I was doing is more than static electricity. could be something to it.

I would like to be able to attract something I am reaching for. Some people seem to have that sort of attraction. Others appear to repel things, objects seem to jump out of their hands. The key to being a klutz?

HOAX -real but not really
I just put a spoon and then a magnet on my chest and they both stuck
go figure
I just stuck a lighter to my chest and it stayed
contact area ?
After a certain wght. I dont think it matters
I wouldn't worry though
If he sticks to the car or the fridge or oven or something then maybe there is a worry
As far as this kid being a magnet for the ladies
more like repellent

Sigh....

I'll take some heat for this but here it goes.

Once upon a time long ago I was a chubby little kid. Regarding the coins: Anything would stick to me when I was sweaty. Notice how they don't show the spoons and what not being tossed on him like the coins?

If you sweat then let the sweat dry without wiping it off your skin becomes tacky. Also Regarding the Heavier weights : He is obviously chubby and his young skin is soft and pliable it's held up by friction against his skin..

Trick.

Moving along....

You can train to change the polarity of your body by using biofeedback techniques with commonly available instruments. Once you learn to determine the subtle energy properties of positive negative flow which may I say is purely a subjective experience you can learn to recreate it without the device giving you feedback. This drawing in of electrons from one side (creating electron flow current) enables you to subtly draw or push small to large mass and electricity depending on your level of awareness.

Here is a simple experiment you can do at home to learn to understand this natural force within your own body biofield.



I just wanted to add that there is also a yearly convention in Europe for people with this ability it is more common than one would think.

Yeah it's not even much of a trick. Any chubby kid could learn to do the same thing.

Just look at where the center of gravity is for the objects, for anything larger than coins, his body is underneath the center of gravity. That's called physics.

The coins are probably the only thing light enough to stick even without their center of gravity being supported.

Find yourself a chubby kid and you can train him to get stuff to stick to him like this, guaranteed (but he needs steel toed shoes for when those weights fall in his feet during the training). If you're older, your skin won't be as pliable so it may not work as well on an adult.

Seemed like the old cheap trick when reading about it. That it came from CBS with testimony should offer it some creedence, but if not then who can you trust if not your news media?

No kind of new stupid-human-tricks that come along defy nature's rules only augment them, perhaps to an astonishing degree in the most "astonishing" instances. Nothing ever new under the sun? Sure, always. We invent and build devices to augment these laws. Humans are super tool-users in the animal kingdom.

Some astonishing humans come along at times also. Sometimes a one-hit wonder, a super feat-of-strength needed in an emergency. Sometimes a rare extra-ordinarily gifted person, often with a "Rain Man" trade-off. What is the chance of developing these skills?

I've played with those body fields you mention. Every "trick" of that type I tried I was able to do it at least once. These attempts came along with their failures as well, typically more prominent the failures. These all required mental drills and after at least one success at it I wasn't always so "mentally set" for successive attempts. Still, there were certain "awarenesses" learned in the process. Moving oil drops in a bowl of water I mentioned in earlier post - it would appear those body fields exist and can be manipulated mentally.

Some "powers" would appear to exist in most people though they may have never "triggered" them. Many people have experienced high-speed thinking and reactions. The sensation is everything going into slow-motion momentarily. I first had that happen while playing sports, and a couple times it happened while driving. The occasions required quick-reaction. I've never been able to just turn-it-on though. Some I've asked people have never had the occasion to trigger it but I would think most people could if needed.

Super-human strength, high-speed reactions, it is amazing what we can do when there is an urgency. we should be able to develop these. Attraction/repulsion would be an ability worth mastering as well.

aparently not washing for several days can aid with the ...er....."stickablity..

Been done before - been debunked already elsewhere eg magneatonews.com...

Probably the best thing I have seen along these lines is the TV show "Stan Lee's Superhumans".

People have broken their neck diving from a 1 meter diving board into 1.2 meters of water. That series features a guy diving into 1 foot of water from a height of 35 feet. Some of the witnesses are just shaking their head at how crazy this guy must be.

Most of us could probably do that with enough training, though many of us would die or become crippled in the training attempts. He's the guy under "splash" in the following link. There are dozens of other "superhumans" and some of their feats are equally amazing:

www.history.com...

The "quick draw" guy was pretty amazing too. Unlike the diving trick which I think most people could learn if the training didn't kill them, there may be something genetic about the speed of the electrical impulses in that guy. Most humans probably can't shoot as fast as him, even with lots of training.

To master turning on the "quick-reaction" mode I spoke of could make the quick-draw feat do-able. Holding a firearm just might be enough stimulus to "trigger" such. Might not kill me to learn it but with the expectable lapses I could end up shooting my foot off.

this may be cool now, but when he gets older he is going to want to attract others things.
its going to suck when he is surrounded by little old ladies who have had a hip replacement.

The OP's title is misleading as the boy is not 'attracting' anything. You dont see anything being sucked towards him like a magnet.

It it was real he would be able to stick stuff to other parts of his body rather than the top of his chest that is leaning back at an angle. Im sure some of the stuff he is pretending to attract isnt even maganetic.

This is soo fake.

Fake. Stupid CBS.

He'd better stay away from London, it's easy enough to attract sharp metal objects there. He'd be a human knife rack!

Yes, but can he attract girls?

The ability is more like toad from X-men or a gecko. Good for climbing smooth surfaces perhaps. I wonder what it is in the sweat which causes such an adhesive force. I still find the ability interesting and perhaps with training enhanceable. The only thing this video shows is that the effect is not a magnetic effect. It does not prove that there is not an effect at all. One could hypothesis that it is a sticky form of sweat however it is still interesting that humans can create this effect. Randi shows nothing more in this video except that; for the ability to work it requires skin to surface contact. He could have just as easily done the same thing by demonstrating this with a shirt on. I see no big revelation here.

Can't believe this is actually being reported as news. Is the media deceptive or what?

Coat him with a little tanning oil and let's see how well things stick to him then. This kind of story has been popular for decades.

Agree with the last post, almost any good magician and get objects to stick to them, How did this make the news........ Unless Xmen is real ?.......lol
