Where are the rabbits?

I remember once reading that Mr.RAndi will never eat rabbit.

But seriously, where are the rabbits???

It seems to be doves, and tigers.

I think pulling a rabbit out of a hat would be such a classic, but you just don't see magicians using rabbits.

I remember reading that too, I think in _Conjuring_, or some book by a similar title. "One must have respect for one's collegues" goes the quote.

Perhaps rabbits are just difficult.

Magician Michael Finney used to say in his act something that I suspect was pretty close to the truth. I'm paraphrasing, but what he said was: "I used to put rabbits in the hat, but they would pee. It's not much of a mystery when your hat starts to pee."
