An elderly man impressively juggled eight boomerangs at the same time and safely caught them one by one in eastern China.

The video was filmed in the city of Liaocheng in Shandong Province on April 10.

The elderly man, named Zhang Lianxiang, is a retired performer from the Liaocheng Acrobatic Troupe.

Zhang Lianxiang's skillful juggling, including a quadruple throw, is truly remarkable and unique in the acrobatics world.
