There's magic out there in the world. You just need to go out there and find it.

Like Japanese Twitter user @FustDrift, who just happened to find this dude in a smoking room who could casually make things levitate from his hand.

Unfortunately, we never find out who the mystery magician is, but at least the video which was posted on Sunday will stay on the internet for years to come.

We're also enjoying the fact that mystery magician doesn't even crack a smile or say anything while he performs his act, resuming his cigarette break despite the wonder of onlookers.

While the video has scored plenty of retweets -- because it is pretty amazing -- it might just be that this magician might have pulled out some sort of invisible thread to perform his little trick.

Whatever the secret might be, we're still pretty damn impressed.
