Edinburgh show held in a lift
A Russian circus star is to stage a series of performances at this year's Edinburgh Festival Fringe in a lift.
Alexej Merkuchev's show, called 5065 - Fancy a lift?, will run for three weeks.
The lift, which is 2.4 metres wide and 2.8 metres high, can accommodate 20 people.
Up to 10 free shows are due to be performed at the St Stephen's Centre.
Two lights have been fitted to give an impression of travel as the device moves up and down.
