Folkmanis Large Rabbit in Hat Hand Puppet

The magician wearing this well-traveled top hat has a few tricks up his sleeve! When you poke your hand up through the velvet hat, out pops a fluffy white bunny waving his paws and twitching his nose.

In the 19th century the top hat was ordinary street wear, part of every gentleman's outfit. That was exactly what made it work on stage: a hat the audience knew from daily life seemed above suspicion. Louis Comte, a conjurer working in Paris, is credited with being the first to produce a white rabbit from one, in 1814. A few decades later the Scottish showman John Henry Anderson turned the feat into the highlight of his performances.

Did you know that the image of a rabbit being pulled out of a hat is an iconic representation in the world of magic? This portrayal originated in the 19th century and remains a popular trick among magicians globally. The Folkmanis Hand Puppet rabbit in a hat charmingly captures this classic magic trick, allowing children to stage their own magic show at home.
