Hello oh wise and learned colleagues,
Has anyone seen, or possibly heard of, a tip over trunk
in the shape of a top hat. I have the resources to build
one, and I'm not above building something that does not
exist, it just might be easier to have a source. AND yes
I realize angle issues on the tip over action, it being
an open top hat and all, but I believe I have worked
out the angle, as part of the illusion. Think old jokes
and Rabbits pulling magicians out of hats.....you
get the idea I'm sure.
Cheers,
Chris

Jim Sommers has had one for years. Plans are in his book- Illusions you can Build. Also he will build one for if requested.

I agree with Craig. You should read the book first.
Here's where to order the illusion.

Thanks Gentlemen I do most certainly appreciate the assist.
I was honestly feeling a little lacking in the research
department this evening, so thank you

Donald, looked at the link, not what I'm looking for I'm afraid, what I need can't be collapsible for the purposes of
the proposed illusion and must be large enough to accommodate a medium build man. I'm very proud of the concept, I don't
want to give too much away, but think comedy production of magician by rabbit suited individual. I've been working with
a local magician and we are designing a new comedy magic stage show.

The hat doesn't have to be collapsed, and the routine doesn't have to be presented exactly as the description on the Klamm website. Like Craig and I said, read the book. You could build your own, and make appropriate modifications to fit an adult instead of a child.
Speaking of costumed rabbits making magicians appear in hats, I recall a Paul Osborne plan in Genii along that theme (or it might have been a magician making an assistant appear, dressed in bunny ears and a tail). It wasn't a tipover trunk. The top hat was over 6' tall, and had curtains that opened to show it empty.
