    While the original prop was adhered to Burton’s face using small filaments which ran behind the actor’s ears, Factory Entertainment’s metal replica will come with a display case and stand only — so if you want to wear it, it’s up to you to figure out how to make that work!

    Instructions unclear, gluing rare-earth magnets to my temples.

          This was a popular body hacking mod for a while. It gives you a 6th sense where you can feel electrical/magnetic currents.

          Its fallen out of favor a bit.

          Why not? How often can you buy another sense?

          Today I mostly forget it’s there and occasionally am surprised when I reach for a running microwave, or am near high voltage lines. It’s good for party tricks - I rub my hands together to pretend to make static electricity, then pick up coins. People then try to do it and obviously fail.

              CT scans don’t use magnets.

              If I need an mri, they would cut it out. If I’m unconscious they won’t use an mri, it’s too risky (what if I had shrapnel from a war wound).
