Andy is right; Run Rabbit Run is a classic kids’ show effect guaranteed to delight. I owned a mid-80s MAK version which was very well made. Operation was smooth as was the kicker “running” and “peek” moments. This is a great five-minute effect that gets children howling, pointing, and laughing. The ending, especially when designed to be at the magi’s expense, is a winner. The kids were right all along seeing what the performer could not. In essence, they are the heroes. Lots of lousy knock-offs were developed including branded cartoon characters. The rascally rabbit is the best. Try to buy the very best one and make the kids go crazy.

I own this effect by El Duco, probably now for 20 years. It is quite impactful. In my handling I allow a volunteer to put the watch in the box and with correct stage direction, they can hold the box until the disappearance.

The reappearance/reveal of the watch is quite dramatic. It all seems quite impossible. I have created my own script and patter to make logical use of the props.

The patina on the brass watch and chain are aged now and I quite like it. Looks more like a vintage piece and lends itself to the baffling presentation. If one does any bizarre magic or even a Halloween show, well, there are terrific possibilities here!
