I had a rabbit in the act for years. When it died I replaced it with a finish that is far stronger than the rabbit ever was. The only people who ask about a rabbit are the occasional Mum. At the end of my show no child has ever asked "Where is the rabbit?"
The new finish is something I also sell. http://nzmagic.com/AppearingColouredWandsCAFE.html In New Zealand every pre-school organisation has a rabbit. They might be the official magic logo, but they are not (to my audiences) the novelty they may have been in the past. |

I don't have a rabbit in my act but been thinking about it. Every time the kids ask for one.

Of course you need to have a rabbit in your act!
In fact, all you need is a rabbit and your show will be outstanding! Well, you probably need a couple of doves, too, but once you have a rabbit and a couple of doves, you are on your way to the big time! I should mention that you need a Stratosphere also, but that’s all you need; a rabbit, two doves, and a Stratosphere, then you can call yourself a real magician! As long as you add a Zig Zag to the act that’s all you need; a rabbit, two doves, a Stratosphere, and a Zig Zag! With just those items you’re ready for Vegas! A rabbit, two doves, a Stratosphere, and a Zig Zag are all you need…and a levitation of some sort. But that’s all you need to call yourself a true wizard; a rabbit, two doves, a Stratosphere, a Zig Zag, and a levitation. Plus some dancing girls, but that’s really it! A rabbit, two doves, a Stratosphere, a Zig Zag, a levitation, and some dancing girls. Put those in your show and you won’t be able to keep up with the calls. All you need is a rabbit, two doves, a Stratosphere, a Zig Zag, a levitation, and some dancing girls… Did I leave anything out? |

I am Sad to say this but I have lost more than a Few Bookings because I DO NOT use a Rabbit. I lose at least 10-15 Shows per year because I do not have a Rabbit.

Howie,
How did I miss that!? Of course! You must have a partridge in a pear tree! A rabbit, two turtle doves, a Stratosphere, a Zig Zag, a levitation, some dancing girls, and a partridge in a pear tree! What more could an audience ask for? andrew |

REMLAP,
Just curious. How do you know you lost those bookings due to not having a rabbit? I know sometimes parents will ask if you do have a rabbit, but then sometimes their final decision may come down to price or just them having a better rapport with another entertainer. I'm just saying . . . Gerry |

My apologies to all.
In an attempt to bring some humor to this discussion, I recognize I’ve come off sounding very sarcastic. That was not my intention. Actually, I do have a rabbit in my act (and doves but no dancing girls) and find that he adds value to the show. I’ve also performed without him for mostly adult audiences and no one has asked “Hey, where’s your rabbit?”. Still, when performing for birthday parties I’ve been, on occasion, specifically asked to include him. I would like to think it’s not so much having a rabbit in the act, but more in the way he is produced, since I vanish and produce a number of items in my show, yet the appearance of Mr. Moto the rabbit from a box that was previously shown to be very empty gets an additionally excited response. It’s just a different entertainment element. Most kids love to see a soft and furry “magical” bunny. Besides that, we keep each other company while we’re away doing shows! andrew |

Matthew, my son says he thinks the dancing girls would complete the show quite nicely......
Howie, I cannot believe you forgot to add a backdrop to Andrew's list! |
|||||||||
Howie Diddot Inner circle San Francisco & Los Angeles California 3288 Posts |
Yes Nanci, how could I possibly forget;
And a magical backdrop and may I add: A top hat, a cape, white gloves and a appearing or disappearing cane, Last but not least; A Mind Reading Goose |

Absolutely Howie!
I of all people forgot about the Mind Reading Goose! And the beauty of it is she only pees on command! ~Nanci |
