A face-changing performer entertained a family in former British territory Hong Kong.

Footage shows the man dressed in traditional Chinese attire, startling diners as he rapidly shifted his masks on October 9.

The artist even invited a foreign guest to touch his face, then swiftly switched masks within seconds, accompanied by theatrical gestures and dramatic background music. This sparked cheers from the tourist's family, who were amazed by the performance.

A face-changing performer is an artist skilled in Bian Lian, an ancient art form associated with Sichuan opera. This technique involves rapidly changing masks to reveal different faces, often representing various emotions or characters.

This art form is highly respected and traditionally considered a guarded secret, passed down within families or from masters to chosen apprentices.
