Ivan can’t help attracting attention, as well as cutlery and other metal objects!
Like most active six-year-old boys, Ivan Stoiljkovic enjoys rollerblading and kicking a soccer ball around the garden. He’s also learning how to play the accordion.
But young Ivan has a special quality that sets him apart from most little boys his age.
He is said to be magnetic. This Croatian lad can stick metal objects such as spoons, coins, frying pans, mobile phones, even irons, to his torso. His family claim he can carry up to 25 kilograms of metal on his body at a time.
“I have no problem with holding metal objects, but eventually I get tired,” says the schoolboy, whose powers have been compared to those of X-Men super-villain Magneto.
Apparently, Ivan is stronger in the morning than the afternoon, and his incredible skills are at their best when he’s relaxed and happy.
