Chin World Records

Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, tucked 22 pencils sideways under the chin and pinned them against the chest with both hands down, like a striped bow tie. In one unedited phone clip filmed in a bedroom, Yanhao first turns the bundle end-on to the camera so every pencil end shows, then stacks the pencils flat, clamps them under the chin and lets go for about five seconds without one slipping. RecordSetter counted the 22 pencil ends in that opening view and checked the hold frame by frame. A rainbow bow tie, no hands.
