Yanhao Deng of Chenzhou, Hunan, kept a 1 fen coin stuck to the back of the hand for 4:10.30 using nothing but skin. In one continuous take on a bedspread, the hand and the coin are wiped dry with tissue, the coin is pressed on, and the hand turns palm up so the coin hangs underneath before a smartwatch stopwatch starts from zero. RecordSetter watched the coin hold on until it dropped onto the bed, with the stopwatch stopped at 04:10.30 right after. Four minutes held up by skin alone.
