Modern Magic: A Practical Treatise on the Art of Conjuring
·
Professor Hoffmann
609
Assuming
that
our
stage
appliances
are
complete,
we
will
proceed
to--
THE
RABBIT
TRICK.--The
performer
comes
forward
to
the
audience,
and
borrows
a
hat.
He
asks
whether
it
is
empty,
and
is
answered
that
it
is;
but
he,
notwithstanding,
finds
something
in
it,
which
the
owner
is
requested
to
take
out.
The
article
in
question
proves
to
be
an
egg.
No
sooner
has
this
been
removed,
than
the
performer
discovers
that
there
is
still
something
in
the
hat,
and
immediately
produces
therefrom
a
live
rabbit,
quickly
followed
by
a
second.
Not
knowing
what
other
use
to
make
of
these,
he
proposes
to
pass
one
of
them
into
the
other.
The
audience
decide
which
is
to
be
the
victim,
and
the
performer,
placing
them
side
by
side
on
the
table,
proceeds
to
roll
them
together,
when
one
is
found
to
have
vanished,
nobody
knows
when
or
how;
but
the
theory
is
that
it
has
been
swallowed
by
the
remaining
rabbit,
to
the
(imaginary)
increased
fatness
of
which
the
performer
draws
special
attention.
