A bizarre video has emerged from China of a man appearing to levitate next to a moving bus.

In the footage, filmed in Fujian Province earlier this month, the man can be seen pretending to walk on air while keeping his right hand placed against the bus window as part of an elaborate stunt.

According to local news reports, the performance was part of a campaign by a local radio station to encourage better manners on public transport, reports the feedytv.com.

Illusionist or superhero? This man looks like he’s magically floating in the air, clinging to a bus with one palm.

The levitating man raised many eyebrows along the streets, and the man, who looked steady and calm, kept waving to passers-by.

This has created a trend in China. A couple, latter, has follow his lead to have a ‘levitate’ wedding shoot.

Though the stunt is visually stunning and appears to be defying the laws of physics, experts say the trick is simple: the floating man illusion is usually accomplished through the placement of steel rods and supporting bars.
