The ballerina has a fan, but the helpers beside her have rather less elegant equipment: cardboard squares, flapped vigorously from kneeling positions.

Jasmin and James's comedy dance Short has reached nearly 4.8 million views in 16 hours, far beyond the channel's usual opening pace for Shorts. Its joke is the contrast between the finished performance and the practical work happening just outside the illusion.

An inset shows the edited dance while the main picture exposes the setup. An assistant in a green suit manipulates wooden legs fitted with pointe shoes beneath the dancer's pink skirt. The cardboard crew supplies extra movement, while the dancer works her fan. This is a staged visual-effects routine, with the machinery deliberately left in view.

The channel already has a huge behind-the-scenes hit in "BEHIND THE SCENES! #shorts", one of its most-watched Shorts. Here, viewers are picking out the individual jobs: some mention Jasmin's handling of the fan, while another asks what the two helpers are there for. The cardboard is easy to overlook when there are wooden ballet legs to explain.
