An Indian man who claims to be magnetic has demonstrated his bizarre talent - by placing household cutlery all over his body.
Arun Raikwar, from Sagar district of Madhya Pradesh in India, discovered the unusual skill only a few months ago when a nail stuck to his body while he was doing some household work.
Pictures show the 37-year-old photographer placing metal objects, including spoons and nails, on his upper body and then proving that they do not fall off.
He said: 'I have no clue how this happened. I don't even want to know. This is not something I am proud of but when people come to see my magnetic powers, it feels good.
'This is the first time when something so bizarre has happened with my body. Initially I was scared but now I have gotten used to it.'
Raikwar believes that his body emits 'special waves' which make him feel 'magnetic'.
He has even consulted a doctor at a local hospital to make sure there was nothing physically wrong with him. The maximum magnetic power in his body is around his chest, stomach and back, he claims.
The doctors were shocked to see Raikwar's condition after he demonstrated his supposed magnetism.
Shailendra Shukla, 45, who was keen to look at Raikwar's case, said: 'This is an extremely curious case but I am not surprised because all of us have some magnetic field in our body. The same magnetic field allows us to get MRI and ECG scans done.
'In Arun's body the magnetic field has increased and it will go away with time. It is not permanent.'
Raikwar has been inundated by curious locals stopping off in his home town to see his 'powers' for themselves. But he adds that he is saddened by his own condition.
'I don't want these powers to be honest. I want a normal life. See, if this stays for too long I will become a public spectacle. I don't want that to happen,' he said.
'But I want to register myself in the record books for once. Then I can sit back and show it to my grandchildren one day.'
