Your theory that all of the people in these hundreds of videos are professional illusionists with better skills than David Blaine is not convincing. These people do not look like they could pull off the most basic magic trick, let alone the advanced illusion work this would require. And most of your theories are answered by the videos. People wipe their arm off with a towel first. They try multiple locations. They compare arm versus arm. They keep the camera running to show no cuts. One guy used a stud finder. They shake their arms around to show it clinging. And it’s video after video after video like this. And people want to hand-wave this away? “Oh they just licked it.” But that doesn’t even explain how a licked magnet, in the same shot, could stick to the injection site, but then not stick a few inches below it. If the magnet was licked, how did they neutralize the licking?
Then in some of the videos you actually see the skin pulling with the magnet. How did they pull off that one? CGI? Do you know how difficult it is to do that on a handheld camera phone that is swinging around wildly? On a Hollywood movie they look their camera movements off and program them by computer so that everything lines up perfectly. The lighting is also highly controlled. Here we have natural lighting, camera shake, and blur, all of which would need to be motion tracked and expertly composited. That would be dozens of hours of work by a top professional, and even then it wouldn’t look great, and we are believe this was done by someone who looks to be a lower-middle class single mother with three kids screaming in the background? OK.
Then we have the part where none of these people go, “Psyche! Fooled you!” Hundred and hundreds of videos and they are all so tight-lipped that none of them want to be the one who finally reveals the troll job or the trick or the illusion? They are all just keeping silent and playing along?

Well, you seem to have seen all the good stuff. Care to share the links with us?
The vids offered by one_out_of_many are really poor.
