Kalu Ram, an eight-year-old boy claims he can turn on an LED light bulb just by touching it in Etah, Uttar Pradesh, India.

In the video, Kalu touches an LED light bulb and it immediately lights up as his father films him. However, when his father tries to do the same, it remains unlit.

When the bulb is handed back to Kalu, he turns the light bulb on again with just a touch of his finger.

Kalu claims to have discovered his 'talent' after his mother took out the bulb from the holder socket and kept it in a shelf. He spotted the bulb and was playing with it when it reportedly lit up - and it didn't glow at all when someone else handled it in the same way.

His neighbours also claim to have witnessed Kalu's talent.

"The boy came and showed it to me first as I initially thought it to be a trick and tried lighting it up by myself,' said one neighbour, 'I took it in my hands and tried lighting it but the bulb didn’t glow. But when Kalu took it in his hands the bulb lit up brightly."

An eight-year-old Indian boy has claimed he can turn on an LED lightbulb - just by touching it.
Kalu Ram, from Etah in Uttar Pradesh, India, claims to have discovered his 'talent' after his mother took out the bulb from the holder socket and kept it in a shelf during a routine house cleaning.
He spotted the bulb kept on the shelf and was playing with it when it reportedly lit up - and it didn't glow at all when someone else handled it in the same way.
Video footage of the boy shows his father sitting in front of him filming him with an LED bulb in his hands and asks him to show the magic.
His Father says, “Kalu will now show a magic, let’s start the magic while filming the incident on his mobile phone.” As soon as the boy touches the terminals of the bulb, it lights up brightly.
His family claim the skill is genuine and say no trick is applied to light the bulbs.
In order to prove this, his father then takes it in his hands and touches it but it doesn’t glow, he hands it over to him after which he lights it up again with just the touch if his fingers.
He can be heard saying, “It won’t light up when I touch, it will only light up when he does.”
The neighbours also claim to have seen the boy's talent with their own eyes.
A neighbour Vikram said, ‘The boy came and showed it to me first as I initially thought it to be a trick and tried lighting it up by myself, I took it in my hands and tried lighting it but the bulb didn’t glow. But when Kalu took it in his hands the bulb lit up brightly.'
This is not the first time it has been alleged that a child could light up a bulb usin
