Chimp fascinated by stage magic

Things to check.....

Would the chimp try to see more stage magic? Can chimps learn to do stage magic? Would it work in sf to have a slightly mad scientist teach stage magic to chimps who can live in the wild so that stage magic becomes a part of chimp culture? Can this be used as a plot element?
