Human Magnets, how is it done, or is it real?

Question

I've seen 2 or 3 guys that can stick metal objects to their bodies and have them stay on like they are a huge magnet. Is it real or is it some kind of trick?

Answer 1

No, they are not a huge magnet.  What they are is someone who hasn't bathed regularly.  It's known as 'sticky skin'.  Anyone can do it under the right conditions.  Notice that half the stuff they're sticking to themselves isn't magnetic anyway.  Not all metal is magnetic - that's why your frying pan doesn't stick to the refrigerator.  It's a trick.
