Everyone is fascinated by magic. Magicians can perform some pretty amazing acts and these tricks have been entertaining people for centuries. These magicians have targeted different audiences throughout the years. Some prefer performing in front of an adult crowd and others specialize in acts for kids. Now one man has taken his act to the dogs.

John Stressel loves magic, so when he turned up at the animal shelter in New York, the people couldn’t imagine what it was that he wanted. But he was there to put on a private show for the pups. The idea was to highlight the personalities of the pooches in the video in hopes that they would get noticed by a family or individual who would fall in love with them and want to adopt them.

John says he’s always loved the idea of doing magic with dogs and the performance he pulls off is nothing short of incredible. The reactions from the dogs is amazing too.

And it worked! You can really see these shelter pups’ true personalities shine as you watch the video below. So check it out and be sure to share this one of a kind idea with your family and friends.
