Lookout Boy Wonder, there’s a new player on the field—magnetic field that is. His name is Bogdan and he can attract everything but the kitchen sink—though that theory has yet to be tested. Anyone got a sink handy?
This seven year old Serbian boy from Belgrade has recently demonstrated feats that may be considered useless to some, but to this paranormal news hound, I find myself literally drawn to his story.
With a smile on his face, Bogdan stood proudly in his family living-room, as his father set the table…on him! A whole place setting, including: forks, spoons, china, and a frying pan were neatly arranged on his bare belly and chest and stayed there without slipping off. So, this reporter finds herself asking, why is it, he doesn’t seem to be able to keep his shirt on?

After dinner, everyone likes to watch a little TV, don’t they? Well, with Bogdan around, you never have to search for that slippery remote again. It’s on his chest.
Perhaps the next time Lindsay Lohan wants to do a little jewelry shopping, she might want to borrow Bogdan for an afternoon. Two minutes at Tiffany’s and they’ll leave with the entire store of trinkets hanging on his chest. And this time she could plead innocent and get away with it! “The only laws I’ve broken,” she might argue, “are the laws of attraction!”
Of course, I knew there’d be those pesky skeptics to ruin this bit of fun for me, and it wouldn’t be responsible journalism without mentioning one of their main arguments. Benjamin Radford of Discovery News claims, it’s all friction…I mean fiction. Actually, both statements would be true. He claims it’s merely friction that causes objects to cling to his skin. Well, to this particular nitpicky naysayer, I challenge, how do you explain The Boy Bogdan’s abilities to wipeout tall computer towers at a single bound? That’s right, hide your motherboards, and boogie boards–if you prefer to surf the waves, instead of the internet. The Boy Bogdan is packing magnetized heat that stuns computers better than a Star Trek phaser.
Bogdan may not have his own comic book or Marvel movie, but I’d recommend Iron Man keep his distance. Mr. Downey, you’re always welcome to hideout at my house, if you like.
