No matter how many times we get the chance to see a shadow puppet performance, we will always be amazed. And how could you not? The talent and creativity needed to perfectly pull off these types of performances is nothing short of amazing. That is why you will often see these types of performers on shows like America’s Got Talent. But AGT is certainly not the only place to appreciate incredibly talented shadow puppet artists — social media is full of them, too!

One of our favorites has to be someone that you can find on YouTube – their username is GDK锦衣. At the time of this writing, they have yet to post many videos. That said, it’s clear that their talent will take them far. This can be seen in the video where they make their shadow puppet dance to a Michael Jackson classic, Smooth Criminal. Enjoy this awesome performance for yourself in the video below!
When the video starts, we get a view of the artist themselves. But then, as the music progresses, the focus shifts to their hands. Most importantly, however, we get a great view of the shadow puppet itself. As the music plays, this adorable figure dances along, and it is oh-so delightful and impressive!
