Meet 'Magnet boy'

Ivan Stoiljkovic is an ordinary boy with an extraordinary talent.

The six-year-old from Koprivnica in Northern Croatia appears to be able to stick metal objects to his body.

That's right, it is claimed Ivan is magnetic.

Video of Ivan's amazing abilities has become a web sensation with thousands of people tuning in to watch him stick cutlery, phones and even a frying pan to his bare chest and arms.

Ivan's talents don’t end there though, his family reports he has healing powers, in much the same manner as some people use a magnetic pillow to supposedly ease back pain.

Ivan's family reports his ‘healing hands’ have helped to ease his grandfather’s stomach pains, and soothe the pain in a neighbour’s leg.

Ivan's grandfather swears by the youngster’s unusual talent.

"When something hurts us, we ask Ivan to put his hands on the sore and the pain disappears in a flash", he told The Daily Mail.

Ivan also stands out from the crowd due to his 'super strength'.

His family claims he is stronger than most children his age, and regularly carries 22kg bags of cement.

Critics of Ivan's amazing super power might point to the fact that many of the objects sticking to Ivan's chest and arms appear to simply be resting on his skin, and not actually sticking to him.
