Animated Rabbit. London: Max Andrews (Vampire Magic), ca. 1954. A clockwork mechanism allows the rabbit puppet (crafted from real rabbit fur) to rise up and down in the magician’s hat (with a delay between each animation) or from a small wooden “hutch,” throughout the performer’s act. Sturdy metal mechanism in good working order, with original winding key, and a folding opera hat that will accommodate the gimmick. Sold together with a matching Vampire Production Rabbit puppet. The only example of this mechanical prop we have encountered.
