Jose Ahonen is a magician. He decided to try the levitating wiener trick on a group of unsuspecting dogs.

Their reactions range from extreme curiosity to downright spooked.

Many of the dogs perform an impromptu dance as they hop around while attempting to snatch the mysterious hot dog.

Tico proved to outwit Ahonen by barking loudly, then snatching the weiner right out of the magician’s hands.

Ahonen assures everyone that all of the dogs received their very own hot dog treat for being such good sports.

The video has generated over 800,000 page views in less than a week.
