Really popular kids show routine!From the estate of a retired kids show magician who took great care of his props.
A compact version of the famous Hippity Hop Rabbit effect, this colorful comedy trick has a startling surprise climax - a great "sucker effect" in which the audience screams that they know "how it's done" just to discover they didn't know after all!
You start by showing a cute wooden cut-out of a white rabbit. A cover, decorated with a drawing of a bunny, is placed over the white rabbit.
You declare that the rabbit will change color, and you turn the cover around. When you lift the cover, the rabbit is now BLACK. You cover the rabbit again, turn the cover around again, and now the WHITE rabbit is back.
Is it obvious to your audience that all you have done is turn the cover around, showing the back side of the white rabbit as black. That's the point!! You want the audience to "call you out" on your "secret"!If you perform this "magical switch" at least three times, the audience will become more excited and more vocal as the trick progresses. Yes, the rabbit changes color, but the audience can't miss the way you keep turning the cover (and the rabbit) throughout the sequence. "You're turning it around!", they'll insist. At the finish, they will be literally shouting at you to "turn it around" so they can prove to you that the white rabbit has a black rabbit on its reverse side. And that's exactly what you want to happen!
Because imagine the laughter and surprise and applause when you finally turn the rabbit around to reveal- a RED bashful bunny!! Gets them every time!
We are calling this the BLACK Mini Color Changing Rabbit, because it has a BLACK rabbit on the cover tube.
