This adorable ape can't help but hide his glee at the sight of a simple magic trick.
The precocious primate flops on its back with delight when he realizes that whatever this shifty amateur magician seems to put in a cup is indeed no longer in that cup. This orangutan believes in magic more than you've ever believed in anything in your entire life.

Ah, apes. They're just like us! It's almost as if we're brothers from another mother.
