He shakes the cup around before secretly getting rid of the nut, and then shows the orangutan the cup again - with the nut missing.

The animal seems to love the trick and bursts out laughing before rolling on his back in the straw.

Dan uploaded the footage to YouTube and it has been viewed over two million times.

The incident occurred at Barcelona Zoo in Spain.

The zoo is located in the Parc de la Ciutadella in Barcelona, Catalonia.

It used to be internationally known as the home of Snowflake, the only known albino gorilla, who died in 2003.
