“Pick a rabbit, any rabbit.” He said. “Don’t let me see it. Now remember your rabbit and place it back in the hat. Give all the rabbits a good shuffle”. I followed the instructions dutifully.

“Wow” I cried in gleeful astonishment. “It is! It IS! How on earth did you do that?”

“Magic!” he said and in a flash of purple smoke they were gone.
