Thanks for posting this interview, Jacob. Unfortunately, Mr. Magola's "skill" still appears to be a performance, and seeing that there truly has never been a formal scientific testing of this skill under tightly controlled protocol, it's hard to not be skeptical.

However, there is something very interesting in one of the photographs you posted. It appears that Mr. Magola's own body gives him away. The photograph with the silver pot stuck to his forehead reveals Mr. Magola slightly stretching his neck out and tilting his head up, the muscles in his neck and shoulders are tightened and the veins are popping out. This is not a man whose upper body is at ease or at rest. In fact, he is extremely tensed up. Additionally, there is a visible segment of forehead skin folded underneath the pot itself, creating a bit of a ledge or support for the pot.

So, by the visual evidence of this photograph alone, I have no choice to conclude that this is a very carefully constructed balancing act that requires great skill, but little magnetism.

I welcome any other opinion or thought.
