So You Think You`ve Got Talent? I Bet You Can`t Do This

Many people are talented in one way or another, but the talent shown by these people, be it practiced or God given, is unbelievable.

Peter Callesen

Peter Callesen is a sculptor who works in paper. Most of his work is made from single sheets of paper .The same sort of paper you probably use for your printer. These are two of his finest pieces. You can find more pictures of his work on his website.

Daniel Browning Smith

Better known as The Rubber Boy , Daniel is known as the worlds best contortionist.

He actually dislocates his arms so that he can crawl through an unstrung tennis racket. Daniel is known as the most flexible man alive.

Liew Thow Lin

You might say that Liew has a very magnetic personality.

Lin, a 70-year-old retired contractor from Malaysia, is also known as The Magnetic Man. He has taken several iron objects and put them on his abdomen, and because of what Lin refers to as his “gift” they have all stuck. Since this "gift'' is also present in three of his sons and two grandchildren, he figures it's hereditary.

Lin made news headlines when he pulled a car twenty meters along a level surface by means of an iron chain hooked to an iron plate on his midriff.

Daniel Tammet

Also known as Brain Man , Daniel Tammet is a 27 year-old savant. However, unlike most savants, he is aware of and can explain his thought process. He can also do amazing things with words and numbers, and is always up for a challenge. Watch as Daniel takes the challenge of learning the Icelandic language in one week.

Stevie Star

The Regurgitator is most definitely an appropriate name for Stevie Star. He has the unique ability to not only swallow foreign objects, but to bring them back up as well. Stevie has been amazing audiences almost all of his life by regurgitating things like live goldfish, padlocks, light bulbs and even a miniature Rubik`s cube. Watch him in action here.
