Paulo David Amorim is a 11-year old Brazilian boy with a magnetic personality and a knack for attracting cutlery.

The young boy can carry spoons, nail clippers, scissors, coins, and even frying pans on his body!

They just stick to him, as you can see in the video below. His father said he discovered his son’s peculiar ability one day he asked him to bring a fork and knife. “Much to my surprise, they stuck”.

Paulo’s classmates have dubbed him “Magnet Boy” and routinely ask him to demonstrate his “powers” with random objects at school.

Doctors say they have never seen anything like Paulo David’s, and seem genuinely perplexed; they can’t explain the boy’s magnetism and have said the boy’s health is not at risk.
