Some fakes don't mean they're all fakes.
A lot of respected doctors have noted this phenomenon.
It doesn't happen in everybody who is injected.
Very small metal particles in liquid are magnetic. There are also clear liquids that are magnetic. We can't assume the only potential source of the magnetism is a chunk of metal.
You are viewing a single comment's thread from:
I guess you're talking about ferrofluids. The magnetic particles are only a small portion of the liquid (to avoid them clumping together) and it would require a significant magnetic field to attract them through the skin. Most likely more than what a simple fridge magnet produces, let alone a non-magnetic object like the fork or the phone. And the effect would then be the same for everybody anyways.
I am genuinely interested to see these respected doctors observations. But I only ever saw random people clearly just trying to go viral on TikTok or some other similar platforms (and a number of them admitting being surprised anybody believed their joke). If you found anything more, please point me to it.
I used to be a magician at one time in my life and this trick seems difficult to achieve with all these random metal objects which appear to display clear evidence of magnetism at times, even appearing to push away from the arm when the polarity is reversed. So how is it that 1000s of people are suddenly such great magicians? Please point me to a convincing video where someone explains how this is done.
And many thanks for pitching in here! I do appreciate & respect all opinions.
The only video I still have the link is this one: https://www.tiktok.com/@emilaaay442/video/6962203374607502598. I haven't bookmarked the others, but most of them were just saying they prepared the trick off camera (for instance with sticky residue on their arms).
For most small objects, you don't even need that, it is quite easy, just with natural skin oils and friction. As a kid, one common trick is to hang a spoon on the nose, or beer caps on the face. For larger objects, with the elbow angle, or off-camera preparation, I believe this can be achieved as well.
