This incredible footage shows a youngster sticking metal objects to his body which acts like a human magnet.

"Now I have a fork and a spoon on my body, I feel like a magnet."

His dad Huseyin added: "He can attract any type of small kitchenware.

"I haven’t taken him to the hospital because he has no health issues.

Mehmet told local media that his body can also do the same trick with screws, metal ashtrays, mobile phones and other objects that contain metal

"He is doing well at school and is good at sports too."

The phenomenon is sometimes referred to as ‘human magnetism’ and some have said they can also attract other types of materials, such as glass, porcelain, wood or plastic.

Many mainstream scientists however believe that it is in fact nothing more than unusually greasy skin.
