Rabbit Trap. Paris: Voisin, ca. 1880. Spring-loaded double trap door, intended for secret use by a magician to effect the vanish of a rabbit or other large object. 9 ½ x 7 ½”. Two Voisin hallmarks. Uncommon. At one time common accoutrements used by many a magician, these traps – and others, of varying designs and functions – were part and parcel of nearly every magic supply depot’s inventory. Surprisingly, despite their popularity, few examples have survived to modern times.
