While the original prop was adhered to Burton’s face using small filaments which ran behind the actor’s ears, Factory Entertainment’s metal replica will come with a display case and stand only — so if you want to wear it, it’s up to you to figure out how to make that work!
Instructions unclear, gluing rare-earth magnets to my temples.
Today I mostly forget it’s there and occasionally am surprised when I reach for a running microwave, or am near high voltage lines. It’s good for party tricks - I rub my hands together to pretend to make static electricity, then pick up coins. People then try to do it and obviously fail.

If you have a medical emergency and you need a CT scan, now you have two medical emergencies.

I have a magnet implant under my skin in my hand, no need to glue.
Just need a couple of these: dangerousthings.com/product/xg3/
I’m impressed, but why?
This was a popular body hacking mod for a while. It gives you a 6th sense where you can feel electrical/magnetic currents.
Its fallen out of favor a bit.
Why not? How often can you buy another sense?

CT scans don’t use magnets.
If I need an mri, they would cut it out. If I’m unconscious they won’t use an mri, it’s too risky (what if I had shrapnel from a war wound).
Surely there are surgical options you could explore first.
You gotta speak to @Shadow about that avenue.

Big oof on the price, but I get it. That’s a really well thought-out and executed replica.
