Ivan Stoiljkovic's Magnetic Skin Attracts Metal and Media

Believe it or not, this little boy who is clothed in cutlery isn't costumed for Halloween.

Ivan Stoiljkovic's magnetic skin has been attracting a lot of media attention recently, and it's no surprise as to why. Ivan, who is only 6 years old, lives in Croatia with his family and is an average child except for one very odd talent: Ivan has magnetic skin.
After seeing a boy on television who had magnetic skin skills, Ivan expressed that he too would like to be magnetic. His grandmother tried sticking metal objects on Ivan, and they surprisingly stuck to his skin. Ivan Stoiljkovic's magnetic skin can hold up to 25 pounds of metal, with his upper body being more attractive than his lower body.

Ivan Stoiljkovic's magnetic skin is surely an attractive oddity that, as of yet, remains unexplained.
