2. Liew Thow Lin – Magnetic Body

Liew Thow Lin of Malaysia is known as the “Magnet Man” because he has the ability to stick metal objects to his body.

Liew has performed in many charity events showing his ability. He can make metal objects, weighing up to 2 kg each, up to 36 kg total, stick to his skin. He has also pulled a car using this ability.

Liew’s ability is not due to any source of magnetism. Scientists from Malaysia’s University of Technology found no magnetic field in Lin’s body, but did determine that his skin exhibits very high levels offriction, providing a “suction effect”. The trait appears to be genetic, appearing in Lin’s three grandchildren.

Liew was featured on the second episode of the Discovery Channel’s One Step Beyond.
