This is the amusing moment a street performer with a 'mystery box' captivated onlookers in China.

Zhang Shuangjian, a talented mime, dazzled a crowd with his theatrical skit featuring an illusion involving a levitating suitcase at the Qingdao Liyuan Comedy Festival in Shandong.

Footage shows Zhang pretending to struggle as he drags the floating luggage. He then circles around it, seemingly trying to make it move.

Moments later, the object suddenly dropped to the ground, and when he tried to lift it, the bag appeared impossibly heavy.

The performer then smiled and approached a member of the audience, playfully asked for help to lift the mysterious object.

The show was accompanied by soothing live background music, which added a mesmerising touch to the performance. The engaging skit left festivalgoers in awe, earning Zhang a well-deserved round of applause at the end.
