How often do we try to find something unusual in ourselves that will help us to become an individual person, to distinguish ourselves from other people. Each of us tried himself in the field of magic, tricks, tried to perform some tricks. The Americans are completely obsessed with records, and every time they try to beat them. But there are individuals in the world who do not need any refresher courses - they themselves will surprise anyone. And they have this gift by nature.

But these minor troubles do not prevent him from being a unique person. God created him not like everyone else - in return for his shortcomings, he became a professional numbers. Yes, yes, that's what he called himself. Daniel handles well mathematical formulas, tasks, understanding of space. In his mind he can do the most complex calculations, without the use of improvised tips, rulers, calculators, etc.
"I see numbers in a special way - they are colors, and each color has its own number." In principle, if we take computational formulas as a basis, take into account the rules for the formation of colors, then he is right - each number (on a computer) has its own color. Remember green, red and yellow in photography and blue, red and yellow in television are the basics. color combination. Only Daniel has a slightly different view of all this. To calculate the equation, he imagines a landscape, the colors mean numbers, and he easily manipulates them by changing the pictures in his head. He knows 22517 digits by heart that follow the decimal point in Pi! He is fluent in 17 languages, which he learned in 78 days. Reminds me of something - reality transerfing (Zeland).

From the age of 4, he studied at home in the yard, repeating some tricks after the circus performers. Instead of tricks, it really took shape, almost in half. A few years later, he began to notice that his talent was a gift from God. He dropped out of school and began to train with adult artists.
At 18, he ran away from home with a circus troupe to earn a living the way he wanted. Parents did not accept the choice of their son, so for a long time they could not believe that their only child was a circus performer, and not a scientist or financier. By full age, by the age of 21, he became famous throughout the world. He was called the "rubber man", who also acted as an acrobat. They invited him to matches, to the circus, on tour, to magic tricks and concerts. It can crawl into the hole of a toilet seat, curl up 7 times, tie knots from the body, and also move the heart in the chest.
7. Michael Lotito
Michael was born in France in 1950. At the age of 10, he ate a TV, which scared his parents to a heart attack. The mother, frightened, called an ambulance, and the father decided to commit suicide, fearing that he would be accused of negligence and the child would be taken away. Fortunately, everything worked out, but their son, Michael Lotito, began to earn money on the streets of the city. By the age of 16, he created his own program - he could eat glass, rubber, metal, etc. For such street performances he was given money. After an unusual meal, no side effects or indigestion the child did not have. Once he ate poisonous substance The doctors didn't find anything either. This fact was registered in the Book of Medical Observations, in order to track the work of the gastrointestinal tract later.
Michael himself admitted that he used to cut objects before using them, but then considered it a waste of time. He only washed down everything he ate with water so that it "was better digested." In the 1970s, he received the Monsieur, Eat It All prize for swallowing a Cessna 150. Well, once he swallowed it, he ate it for 22 months, and got into the Guinness book as omnivorous Michael. Every day Lotito ate 1 g per day from the plane, he did not eat anything else.

Then there was a holiday - Independence Day of the country.
The man decided to congratulate the country in such an unusual way. He decided to present a gift - such amazing people live in the country, and she needs to be proud of them. The event itself was talked about in all countries - a man broke his own record, moved the train by 4 meters!

5. Liv Tou Lin
Liv Toe is a real magnet. It attracts all sorts of things! There are people to whom chest you can put a few spoons, but Liv is completely different. Objects themselves are drawn to him, that's love, what kind of love. When he turned 70, an acquaintance of his (the previous item in our rating) managed to drag the car on a chain with his teeth, and the chain was attached to Liv To Lin's stomach. A man considers his gift hereditary, since his sons and grandchildren have the same abilities, and he himself inherited them from his grandfather.
Scientists even tried to study his body and skin - they were not happy with the result, since the mystery remained unsolved. Experts said that the man has no problems with the skin, and there is no magnetic field around the body either. His descendants will also suffer from the phenomenon, and probably several generations of scientists will discuss this magic, referring to the conclusions of their ancestors. We hope that in 100 years at least someone will be able to find the answer to this question.
4. Thai Ngoc
Scientists, on the contrary, are in shock - if a person does not sleep for more than 2 weeks, then this leads to death. Some experiments have shown that people are afraid to return to sleep, because they are so comfortable in reality that the world of dreams no longer attracts them. At the same time, the Vietnamese Tai is not sick, he has no liver problems, and every day he carries several kilograms of fertilizer for his garden, which is located 5 kilometers from his house.
3. Tim Cridland
The top three is opened by Tim Cridland - a man who never feels pain. This is not a phenomenon, and he has no problems with pain defect. He simply does not have a feeling of pain syndromes, for which the nerve endings are responsible. As a student, at school he received the nickname "King of Torture" for the fact that experiments were carried out on him, they hurt him, but he did not feel it at all. Some of the guys suggested that he was faking, and in fact, he was just pretending, enduring. He could pierce his arm with a needle, stand in a 40 degree frost without shivering, endure any temperature - boiling kettles were leaned against him, and boiling water was poured over him.
The boy endured absolutely everything, and classmates began to respect his gift. To date, he has become an artist who amazes the audience with his tricks. Across America, there are no legends. He studied anatomy all his life to surprise people. Doctors explained his gift by the fact that his defect of the pain syndrome is much higher than that of the average person. The chance of death when inserting needles or other objects is zero, as is the case with injuries to the body.
2. Kevin Richardson
Kevin has become a true friend of animals, and only those who belong to the cat family. No, he does not like domestic cats, his calling is to understand the language of predators - lions, tigers, etc. Kevin learned about his gift when he accidentally got lost in the woods. And since then, he can spend the night in a cage with lions, cheetahs or other predatory cats. The Internet is full of such videos where animals are happy to see their saviors, but no one from the animal world owes Kevin anything, he is not a savior of lives and forests. Later, he became the director of his animal center, began to travel around the countries and study the world of cats.
The same hyenas could easily give their newborn cubs to Kevin without encroaching on his life. Leopards can play with him, and tiger cubs do not want him to leave them after a fun time. Richardson explains the behavior by saying that his intuition is well developed, and if the animal is against it, he will never approach him. So it’s hard to call it a gift to win over any animal. He simply uses his charm and warmth of heart, does not use sticks, whips, rudeness or assault.

Michel Lotito: "Monsieur will eat everything"

What is the reason for the manifestation of such a shocking ability in Lotito? This rare phenomenon in science and medicine is known as "picacism" - an eating disorder that is expressed in cravings for inedible substances. It, along with the unusually thick mucous membrane of the stomach, allowed Lotito to consume a huge amount of metal, which, by the way, he cut into small pieces, watered vegetable oil and swallowed with water.
