Magnet People

I think it was on fortean TV or something but it was a while back, but anyway I remember watching a TV show which had this oriental man who acted as a human magnet. He had spoons on his forehead, an iron on his chest and other various metal objects sticking to his body. It was years ago but I remember finding it interesting however I've completely forgotten about this phenomenon. Anyone got any info on the subject?

I tried googling for this subject but no luck, could only find magnet sellers and ATS search came back with nothing.

hey CheeseKnob

i havent heard of this but it sounds interesting, i have heard of people being able to bend spoons with their mind.

i did a google search and had no luck either, however, i did find this

paranormal.about.com...

Thanks for the link rynaldo82, that was the type of thing I remember.

I wonder if the phenomena is similar to electric magnets but instead of using conventional energy it uses some kind of psychic energy. I remember one guy had a metal iron on his chest, it was amazing as that thing looked heavy. There was no glue visible and it didnt look like trick photography.

I wonder if these magnet folk have difficulty using electronic devices. If I place a speaker near my crt monitor it goes all purple and squigly near the area, I wonder if it would happen if you place a magnet man next to one.

I think that Shoalin monks are trained to do this but I'm not sure.
