If I may clarify what you're saying, just to be 100% sure there's no misinterpretation or misunderstanding on my end...
You had person A stand with a phone book against his chest, then person B would slap that book, and then person A would have a hand print appear on his chest?

I had to reformulate that exact question in my head when i read him, just to be crystal clear. For every anecdote or personal experience someone tells others, it will always fall into 1 of 3 categories: Its either false but the person believes it due to flawed perception (and vice versa), a flat lie or an absolute truth. Im pretty confident we can eliminate the first one, due to him doubling down on his answer.

Also possible that the person was slapped prior to the test, and the print showed up a bit later/after the test...
Just trying to find any rational explanation, since this seems physically impossible -- unless that phone book was 5 pages thick.

I know, I was making it a (different) point, because I can't picture any realistic scenario in which a slap would create a clear, or even a remotely recognizable, palm print on the other side.
About halfway through this (short) video they stab a book with a blade, full force. The amount of pressure that generates is incomparably greater than anything a human palm, burning or otherwise, can possibly produce.

For a slap to leave a print, that is simply a physical/mechanical impossibility.
I also don't think you're lying about it, which is why I'm curious as to what actually happened there.
Have you done this to someone yourself? And if yes -- are you 100% sure they weren't hit prior to that, first (i.e. without the book)?
One of the tests for this involves the use of a thick phone book. The receiving student holds the phone book over their belly and the striking student hits the phone book and their palm print has to appear on the receiving student’s belly. Healing methods for many of the energetic strikes are included

or better yet go find someone teaching or who knows iron plam, its more common and let them try it on you....
