MULTIPLYING RABBITS
MATERIALS: 1 foam piece with cut-out rabbits
Trick: Watch two rabbits multiply into six!
SECRET: You put more rabbits in a person’s hand
than he or she thinks.
SECRET SETUP: Push out the rabbits from the foam
piece. Put the four baby rabbits into your pocket.
Place the two large rabbits on the table.
SHOW:
1. Ask for a volunteer to help you do this trick. Point
to the mama and the papa rabbit on the table.
2. With your right hand, pick up one of the rabbits.
Say “I’ll keep papa rabbit.” As you say this, open your
left hand and pretend to place the rabbit inside. THIS
TAKES PRACTICE!
a. With your right hand, place the rabbit onto your
left palm and begin to close your left hand over the
ngers of your right hand.
b. As your left hand closes over the ngers of your
right hand, remove your right hand and the rabbit.
Continue closing your left hand and pretend that the
rabbit is still inside.
3. Immediately pick up the rabbit on the table with
your right hand. You now have two rabbits in your
right hand. Squeeze both rabbits between your
ngers and thumb. It will look like you are holding
only one rabbit.
4. Say to the volunteer, “You hold mama rabbit.” Place
the rabbits in your right hand into the volunteer’s
hand. Before letting go of the rabbits tell the volun-
teer to squeeze the rabbit tightly, so it doesn’t jump
out. As the volunteer closes their ngers, remove
your hand.
THE VOLUNTEER NOW THINKS THAT YOU ARE HOLDING
ONE RABBIT AND THEY ARE HOLDING THE OTHER. BUT
YOU KNOW BETTER! YOUR HAND IS FIGURE 1.
5. Next say, “Would you like papa to go to mama?”
When the volunteer says “yes,” open your st slowly
while asking the volunteer to open his or her hand to
reveal two rabbits. See FIGURE 3. It will look like your
rabbit jumped into the volunteer’s hand.
6. While the audience is amazed by this magic, put
your hand in your pocket and scrunch up the baby
rabbits in your hand. Then take your hand out of your
pocket.
7. Say, “Do you know what rabbits are famous for?”
Take the mama and papa rabbit and put them in the
hand holding the baby rabbits. Scrunch them
together. Then place them in the volunteer’s hand
and tell the person to squeeze them tightly. Tap the
volunteer’s hand as you say a magic word. Ask the
volunteer to open his or her hand. Magically the baby
rabbits appear with the mama and papa. See FIGURE
4. Say, “Isn’t that incredible? They multiplied from
two to six right before your eyes!”

*(TIP: If you get really good, work on dropping the
secret ball into your lap and then hand the cups to
the audience to examine.)
