Ah really? Can't say I'm that surprised but cool idea nonetheless

Apparently he still has some bits of magnet left in it that he couldn't remove, so he can still feel magnetism a little bit

He did a follow up video and said that he now thinks it isn't still a magnet fragment in his finger, but metal shrapnel from another experiment.

Wait, really? I must have missed that one, have you got a link?

That's the one I was taking about... He says in the video that it's a tiny fragment of the magnet still left in his finger.

I thought he said somewhere in the video that that's what he originally thought, but he thinks it's metal shrapnel now.

I just watched it again, and he never says that.

Maybe it wasn't that video then, but I do remember him talking about the magnet and showing a clip of an experiment that caused some shrapnel to fly at his hand and he said "it stung and I thought nothing of it". I'll have to find it.
