About this item
Hippity Hop Rabbits. Colon: Abbott’s Magic, ca. 1950s. Stencil-painted set of wooden cut-out rabbits for the popular “sucker” trick popularized by Jack Hughes. Measure 13 ½” tall. Wear to paint. Good used condition. Hallmarked. No instructions included.
A black rabbit and a white rabbit are each covered with a tube and are to switch places at the magician’s command. And the rabbits do actually change places several times. In the course of this funny routine, which is interspersed with jokes, the audience notices that the rabbits and their tubes are turned around each time, so everyone thinks the other side of the white rabbit must be black, and the other side of the black rabbit white.
After hesitating for a while, the magician agrees to turn the rabbits around – what a surprise, the reverse sides of the rabbits are red and yellow respectively. A real sensation with great entertainment value.
In this version the transformation of the rabbits happens in the “classic” manner (non-magnetic), in which you grip the top of the tubes.
Approx. 13.5″ tall
