Huynh Van Khai, 44, of Bang Tien 2 Village in Lam Ha District looks ordinary at 1.6 meters tall and 45 kilograms.

But his body attracts all kinds of materials to -- plastic, iron, ceramic, glass. Then, in front of many witnesses, he shoves a nail into a live power socket and touches its end.

In other feats, he asks a man to start a motorbike and holds one end of a wire connected to its spark plug.

All kinds of objects are attracted to his two arms, chest, and back where they remain stuck as if nailed. Mr. Khai takes off his shirt and begins to put spoons, knives, and cell-phones on his body; they all remain motionless on his torso.

He discovered his unique gifts two years ago and now hopes scientists can give him an explanation.
