Magician Simon Pierro is used to civilized audiences when he performs mesmerizing tricks on an iPad.

But on a recent trip to the Sacred Monkey Forest in Ubud, Bali, the long-tailed crowds that gathered curiously around his iPad reacted quite aggressively has he made bananas and peanuts suddenly appear on his screen.

Fortunately, Pierro’s timing saved him from assault as he made the screen image pop into his hand as real food, which the wiry macaques that reside in the forest quickly grabbed before running off.

Pierro has been doing his brand of magic ever since Apple introduced the iPad in 2010 when he gladly gave up working with large and heavy television screens. His knack for bringing scarves, cards and liquids to life from the iPad screen has made him stand out from his peers and gain worldwide recognition.

He remains old-fashioned in one sense: like the entertainers before him, he will not reveal the mysteries of his tricks.

In his native Germany, he went to an Octoberfest celebration and served himself mugs of beer from his iPad. On the eve of the Academy Awards in March, Pierro walked the streets of Hollywood pulling little Oscar statuettes from his iPad to present to amazed fans.

His trip to Bali, captured in a short video on his YouTube channel is similar to a 2016 performance in front of chimpanzees. Below are both videos.

His videos have gained more than 80 million views.
