Face-changing (变脸)
July 28th, 2009 | by admin |
This is a short clip of the old Chinese art of 变脸 (pronounced bian lian), or literally, “face-changing”. The performer rapidly goes though a series of masks in the routine, which may last for as long as 30 minutes or even more.
The performer may be dancing or even displaying his wushu skills throughout the act, and the main source of wonderment stems from his hands never coming anywhere close to his face prior to the changes.
This skill is not taught to non-chinese.

You have to undergo a lot of training to be able to do face changing from what i have heard. They only teach very few people the art.

It’s definitely not a spring if it’s been practiced since ancient china. It’s more of an illusion.

in the past, i always thought that the masks were layered one on top of another. But I think it may not be the case…because i have seen before a mask changer, changed a few times of coloured masks, and then revealed his real human face, without any paint on it, and then he changed again to the coloured masks again…lol…its amazing… =)
