This is the amusing moment a red-faced macaque appeared surprised after seeing a magic trick in Japan.

Kosei, who visited the zoo in Kyoto, performed a sleight-of-hand to make the fruit disappear in front of the primate.

To make the trick more believable, he showed the fruit to the animal and teased it with the treat.

The monkey was eyeing the fruit when the tourist pointed at it and made it disappear in an instant.

With its attention on the man's trick, the macaque dropped its jaw appearing to be shocked.

The animal even shouted while looking at the magician who just made the fruit disappear.

Kosei said: 'I fell in love with this monkey, he was like a child who was happy to see a magic trick. His reaction made me so happy.'
