Comprehensive innovation of "Acrobatics + Dance + Magic"

It is reported that more than forty umbrellas and more than twenty fans are needed in this show. To achieve a perfect show, the Chongqing Acrobatic Troupe, on the basis of the old version of Fan Shadow in the Umbrellas, combines acrobatics, dance, and magic.
