It no doubt takes us by surprise and wows us. But, what about dogs? Do dogs react to magic the way we do? Jose Ahonen, a Finland-based magician and mentalist, finds out just that.

The dogs starring in this video did receive treats before and after the magic trick, assures Ahonen on his YouTube page. Watch as these unsuspecting dogs take on the funniest reactions to magic:
