Boy Has A Magnetic Personality - Neatorama

Paulo David Amorim's friends call him "Magnet Boy". This 11-year-old Brazilian boy's abdomen, chest and back attract metal! The boy's doctor, Doctor Dix-Sept Rosado Sobrinho, says he's never seen anything like it but is not concerned about the boy's health.

"We can see that there is a certain adhesiveness, that he does manage to make several objects stick to his body, some of which are pretty heavy, but it is not completely out of the ordinary," he said.

Most of the stuff there is not magnetic. Maybe if he took a bath every once in awhile the friction which is holding those items would make them all fall down.

He just needs a bath.

It can be "cured" with a good bath and talcum powder (bathing is optional):

If you sprinkle so called "magnetic" people with talcum powder, their amazing powers disappear.

This is so fake and has been disproved so many times that it hurts my intelligence to see the fraud perpetrated here...

Remind me not to visit the doctors in Brazil.

Did they try his armpits?

yes, a bath to remove the body slime should clear that up right quick.

The end of the doctor's quote is probably the important part:

"it is not completely out of the ordinary"

Fake, it's just sticking to his skin. Note how he doesn't change position or move around. Nice try, though.

Thanks for clearing that up, Swan Hakka.

When they've done this stuff before, they've been able to show that even plastics stick to the person's skin.

This is one of the oldest scams in the book. As Ross said, it's been debunked over and over. Why are you promoting this?

Most of those objects are either stainless steel and copper, mostly plastic, or non-ferrous coins...none of which are magnetic. Lots of surface area though for sticking to skin.

Wait...the doctor's name is really Dix Sept?! 17 in french?! It does sound fishy...
