A MAN with an extraordinary superpower has raised eyebrows after he was filmed sticking spoons and nails to his body.

Arun Raikwar, 37, accidentally discovered his skin is magnetic after a nail got stuck to his body whilst he was fixing a table.

And the ‘Magnetic Man’ is laying claim to the title of the most attractive man in India after he was snapped showcasing his stunning party trick.

He said that he was innocently fixing a table when he noticed a nail had stuck to his body "like a magnet".

And now he has been filmed sticking household items such as spoons and nails on his upper body in a bizarre bid to prove that they don’t fall off his magnetic skin.

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."

He believes that his body emits “special waves” which make him feel “magnetic”, and has even consulted a local doctor to check that there is nothing physically wrong with him.

And, whilst hospital staff confirmed that he was fine, medical experts were nonetheless left stunned after he demonstrated his unique powers.

He reckons that some parts of his body are more magnetic than others, with the strongest forces of attraction coming from his chest, stomach and back.

Doctor Shailendra Shukla, 45, who was keen to look at Arun'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."

Arun has become something of a tourist attraction, with locals eager to watch him demonstrate his unique talent.

However, Arun is saddened by his condition, saying: “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.

“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.”
