Which chemical attracts rice like magnet?

Answer

Rice doesn't displace any magnetic properties like iron. Magnet catches iron because it has a large force of attraction for ferromagnetic materials. Iron nickel and cobalt are very special elements as they are what we call magnetic. Rice, unfortunately as it would be really cool, is not magnetic.

So I don't think you could get something that has both such a large force of attraction, and that it only attracts rice.

Rice pullers are a specialty of scammers on the Indian subcontinent. They are metal objects which are purported to attract grains of rice. And, seriously, that's about it. It is this magical property that makes such items extremely valuable, though it is unclear how it could be especially useful.

Rice pullers can be any old metal object such as cutlery, bowls or jewellery. The most prized of all rice pullers is a cheap, crudely faked Anna coin dated 1616, allegedly minted by the East India Company (they minted no such coin in 1616). Scammers will demonstrate the "power" of these objects through unimpressive illusionist techniques.

Claims are made that a unique mixture of copper and iridium accounts for the metal's magical powers in an attempt to science it all up.
