9. RABBIT RINGS
The rabbit token disappears, then reappears on the mat.
PROPS USED: Rabbit Ring, False-Bottom Ring, Ring Mat, Rabbit Token, any Playing Card
THE SECRET: One of the rings has a false bottom that exactly matches the mat. This false bottom hides the
rabbit token, but cannot be seen by the audience.
SECRET SETUP: Place both rings on the ring mat in front of you. Keep the false-bottom ring on the right
side of the mat. See FIGURE 1.
THE SHOW:
1. Take the rabbit token and place it in the middle of the normal ring on the left side of the mat.
2. Take the playing card and place it over the false-bottom ring on the right. See FIGURE 2.
3. Now take the normal ring on the left and place it on top of the playing card. See FIGURE 3.
4. Lift the entire stack (both rings and playing card) and place it over the rabbit token. See FIGURE 4.
5. Remove the top ring and the playing card to reveal the missing rabbit token. See FIGURE 5.
TIP: If you want to make the rabbit token reappear, simply reverse the steps.

10. LOLLIPOP HAT MYSTERY
Show the audience four lollipops. Keep one for yourself and the rest disappear!
PROPS USED: Double-Sided Lollipop, Magic Hat
THE SECRET: Each time you remove a lollipop from the magic hat you are
showing a new color, but they’re all really the same lollipop! See FIGURE 1.
SECRET SETUP: To begin, place the double-sided lollipop inside the magic hat.
See FIGURE 1.
SHOW:
1. Start by saying, “I always carry lollipops in my magic hat, but I only have one
favorite.” Reach into the magic hat and grab the lollipop. Hold the lollipop so that
your fist is hiding the red and green end.
2. Remove the lollipop and show the audience ONLY the yellow side. Say, “Here’s the lemon lollipop.” Place
the lollipop back into the hat.
3. Reach into the hat again and pretend to search through all the lollipops. Now remove the lollipop,
again hiding the red and green side with your fist. This time show the purple side ONLY. “Here’s the grape
lollipop, mmm…yummy.” Place the lollipop back into the hat.
4. Again, reach into the hat and pretend to search for a new lollipop. This time hide the yellow and purple
side in your fist. Remove the lollipop and show ONLY the green side to the audience. Say, “There’s the lime
lollipop.” Place the lollipop back into the hat.
5. Finally, reach back into the hat and pretend to search. Again, hide the yellow and purple end behind your
fist. Remove the lollipop and show only the red side. “Here’s my favorite, cherry red!”
6. Place the lollipop into your pocket out of the audience’s view.
TIP: Be sure not to show any of the other sides when putting the lollipop away.
7. Now say to the audience, “You can have the rest of the lollipops.” At that point, turn the hat upside
down, then show the inside of the empty hat to the audience. They will wonder what happened to the other
lollipops. Only you know the secret!
