Magician John Stessel Utilizes Magic Tricks to Assist Shelter Dogs in Finding Homes

John Stessel, a renowned magician, has been using his skills to help shelter dogs find their forever homes. He has been performing magic tricks at the St. Hubert’s Animal Welfare Center in New Jersey, and the captivating reactions of the dogs have been instrumental in getting them adopted. The success of this initiative is evident as most of the dogs featured in his videos have found loving families and permanent homes.

Stessel’s magic acts are not limited to adoring fans and celebrities; he has taken his show on tour, performing at dog shelters across the country. In an interview with Inside Edition, Stessel shared, “one of my small little superpowers is I can just help dogs show off in a way that they couldn’t without me.” His tricks, like making treats and toys vanish before their eyes, leave the dogs fascinated and eager to solve the mystery!

Despite being severely allergic to dogs, Stessel’s dedication to helping these animals is unwavering. He takes four or five antihistamines before each performance to manage his allergies. While hives are a common sight on him during the performances, so are the joyous moments when these dogs find their perfect match after being part of one of John’s shows.

Stessel’s work is a testament to how talent can be used for a noble cause. The stories of these adopted shelter animals demonstrate the lengths people will go to help those in need. It’s truly inspiring to witness such dedication and love towards our furry friends.
