How to perform the Rabbit hat color change​

Apparatus:

• A card with a picture of a rabbit wearing a hat.

• The hat has flaps on both sides, each side displaying two different colors (blue/red and green/yellow).

Performance:

1. Introduction:

   • Begin by showing the card with the rabbit wearing a blue hat to the audience.

2. First Change:

   • Turn the card to the back (secretly flipping the flap) and show that the hat has changed to red.

   • Turn the card back to the front to reveal the red hat.

3. Second Change:

   • Repeat the process, this time showing the green hat after flipping the card.

   • Turn it back to the front to display the green hat.

4. Final Surprise:

   • Now, without turning the card to the back, rotate it 180 degrees to show the yellow hat on the opposite side.

   • This will surprise the audience as they wonder where the blue and red hats have disappeared.

Performance Tips:

• Practice the smooth flipping of the card to ensure the changes are seamless.

• Use misdirection and patter to engage the audience and distract from the secret flips.

• Start with slow and deliberate movements, gradually increasing speed as you become more comfortable.

• Rehearse the routine in front of a mirror to perfect your gestures and expressions.
