Discovered a magpapaltik in Olongapo before I left for Singapore. A magpapaltik is a person who holds a talisman (or any object) in his hands and undergoes a brief seizure if the item is magical. He can also access information about the talisman's or object's provenance.

I usually shroud my talismans in separate handkerchiefs so that the magpapaltik cannot see them.
