I laughed so hard when that rabbit came rolling out in that jeep. Absolute timeless comedy magic.

Doesn't matter how it was done. Just beautifully performed and entertaining for children.

4:44 the rabbit gets into the hat. Paul had a long career on TV and he was usually entertaining and very inventive. They were good times. He wasn't all that keen on the BBC, like many others, but Paul's patter and personality made him very successful. He was The Man, and he fooled millions for donkeys years. RIP.

Paul was a great magician i watched him growing up as a kid in the 80s. his patter and jokes were brilliant, But i didn't always understand them as a kid but do now as an adult. Well im going to stop now because im rabbiting on !! RIP Paul

Beautiful... This artist was a true magician!!

when you watch it twice its easy to find out what the misdirection is and how the trick works it doesnt fool you twice .... none the less very entertaining and well performed

Loved his show. And his lovely assistant.

That's not a rabbit that's a hair. Clever.

great showmanship!!

RIP paul daniels 1938-2016

It's funny yet cute to see the rabbit going in the hat twice

I saw him do a variation of this in 2011 at the Edinburgh festival. He didn’t do the arm going deep into the hat. The table was longer and there was a lot of going back and forth. He pulled a toy rabbit out of the hat a few times. When the sheet dropped you could see the motor which was running the hat back and forth. That was all very good and funny but the finish was beautiful. He was at one end of the table with the toy rabbit and the hat was at the other. He’s talking and then you just heard someone go “oh” from the audience. The real rabbit had popped up in the hat at the other end of the table. Wonderful bit of misdirection, especially for the kids

I love this show.

We love Paul Daniels. He's a brilliant magician with a unique comedy style, added to which he's a really nice and interesting person. T.

Ooooh.... I miss those days!

Great distraction, loved it he was superb

When the rabbit in the car goes out, the rabbit is placed into the hat from behind the table. Notice how he has the hat against his chest afterwards - subtle and amazing. ^^;

The rabbit coming out from the hat trick was already revealed by THE MASKED MAGICIAN six years ago. However I like to note that the hole in the hat is very small that the rabbit can sit in there comfortably.

I LOVED the Watership Down reference!

When I was a kid I was in awe of Paul Daniels

just watched a HALLOWEEN SHOW OF PAUL DANIELS and earlyer the one with the masked magician i switched that one off as i think magic should not be shown how its done it takes the FUN and the mystery out of magic i all have liked paul daniels . and david nixon. how i wish there was some dvds of his shows aspesally his hHALLOWEEN ONES HE BROUGHT LAUGHTER AND MISTERY TO HIS SHOWS JANET GREENING

"Thats not a rabbit thats... a hair/hare" I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE :D

A hat is a good rabbit habitat!

0:45 best trick in the act.

Loved it

This is genius. Really classic magic.

I think I know how he did it :p At: 4:41 when he holds the hat behind the table and sets the blanket in place again, I think he uses his hands to move a rabbit (that's was probably in a box behind the table) into the hat. :p

Omg this is sooo good

There is two sides to the table... the front part, and the part at the back with a guy and the rabbit. The car/rabbit is a distraction whilst Paul switches it with the other hat. The "pretend" rabbit is moved by the guy at the back. The way I see it....

Paul Daniels is coming to Rhyl Pavilion Theatre, Wednesday 12th Oct 2011 @ 7:30pm!

comedy gold. I love it :)

I love this rabbit at 3:50

5:20 😍😍😍😍😍

Darling

Easy trick, but still great fun. R.I.P.

This is why everyone loved him just born to entertain.

Classic rabbit in a hat

Now pull a Hat out of a Rabbit.

So funny but it helped us learn so much.

LLOOLOLOL nice!

he is epic ;O

i like how there is another real rabbit under the curtain at 5.14 :P

Wow

@irishmenster The camera switches to the car with the rabbit going off stage while Daniels puts the rabbit in and the audience are all looking at the car too... misdirection!

Spot that!!!

That’s so cool how he did the disclaimer to not hold the a rabbit by their ears

Beautifully done. I would like to point something. I noticed the act is slow. That means back 50y ago time was slower..life was not fast..no social stress, no phones, no internet, no computers. You could enjoy full day and night, but as today standarts that will be equalent of 2 days

😊

Starsky the bunny must be comfy in that hat.

@irishmenster No, but the camera did which is 99.9999% of his audience on a TV show. In any case the load is more or less invisible at the back of the table, but if you have misdirection as well that helps!

lol i like it

It's for children missus alright that's for children!

Kinda educational :D

thats my great uncle

I think someone behind the curtain got the rabbit Into his hat when everyone was distracted by the rabit and the car and then held it by his chest so it would not jump out.

good dental care and fast reactions.

Anyone know how the hat moves across the table? Wires? Motor?

To those who might be wondering. The table has 2 sides. and at 4:43 he takes the hat behind the table, where the rabbit will jump in. As he will show you later on, the rabbit is specifically dressured to go in the hat.

How did he make the hat go from left to right

The camera cuts away right at the point of the load.

🐇🐇🐇🎩🎩🎩

cute :D

do someone know from where this video came from? when/where/what show/tv/any info.

Debbie was some kind of babe! whew very good looking

4:50 is where the magic happens.

I don't know why Debbie had to fumble around at the back of the box, before and after the trick? Surely they could have come up with an illusion where they didn't do need to do that and therefore looked a lot more impressive and less suspicious?

HAHA THAT IS GOOD MAGIC

And you think the curtain fell by accident, lol

ha,ha , :) this is so nice trick ;)

He distracted everyone with the rabbit in the car and someone put the rabbit in the hat when he lowered the hat behind the table.

Does anyone know the name of the song e used for this performance?

2019?

The rabbit was hanged behind the table 😂

THATS SO SMART.. i think i know how he did it

If you carefully observe at x0.25 Then also u will never understand how he does it.😂🤣

I think the real magic was how he kept his Toupee on.

@captainclick728 I thought the fruit was the easiest part.

Penn and Teller are great... But no one will beat Tommy Cooper. :o)

great spray on hair...

Last time he did this act was Dick and Dom Hoopla

lol

David? Is that you??

For children right...?

I know how is done because I am a magician my self :) ^-^

This is so easy....

i've always wondered what attracted debbie mcgee to the millionaire paul daniels

@irishmenster 4:44

OK

When?

God said no witching or you’ll go six feet down

OG Penn & Teller. Possibly with lower morals.

If only that was true....

i know how this is done and @acejacko23 is right it is misdirection

such a pity he sounds like punch and judy

It not a rabbit. It is a hair (hare) witty humour

the trick was funnny because the cirtan fell of and the audeance new how you did the magic trick

First things is he didn't show the hat first. Maybe there was a hidden person in rear part of the table who controlled this stuck rabbit to the table and released rabbit with car. By the way its an axiomatic that there was a hole in his hat. And rabbit was released by person in the hat through the hole in the table below the hat. This trick is not difficult to understand. But no one should torture animals and birds for profession. And is it needed to show half naked laady in this show? She is showing her cleveg. Is it a show of se xuality?

Not rocket science, is it ? He distracts the audience with the dummy rabbit in the car, then switches hats or slips the real rabbit in the hat while their attention is diverted.

Gets the rabbit from behind the table

I saw through his trick
