** [[DiscussedTrope Discussed but not shown]]: Bo's inspiration for implanting the magnets directly into his arm was a magician he'd once met whose trick was stabbing a knife directly through his hand only to pull it back out uninjured. When finally asked how he'd done it, the magician revealed he really ''did'' stab into his hand all those times and just did it so much, he'd dug a hole straight through his hand that he'd always cover up with latex.
