A very serviceable piece of apparatus for producing, vanishing, or transforming rather large articles and live animals, such as rabbits, etc. It is easy to construct.
A Chinese box with no lid is shown empty. Then it is placed on a table or chair. Performer shows an empty hat, then suddenly produces a number of silks from it. Magician then drops silks into box and changes them into a live, squirming rabbit which he pulls out of the box by the ears. Box is shown empty.
