Wondering, how many magicians still produce a rabbit from an apparently empty hat. I've been doing it for many years and still do.
Of course, the methods I've used changed over time. The one I presently use is just the rabbit and the hat. Cheeky and bold but it always works.
Would like to hear from magicians who still do.

I stopped using a real rabbit long ago. The last real one I used, I pulled him out, peeing all over the place! I replaced him with a taxidermy. Very realistic, with a spring inside. Made his feet kick. Lost him in the foreclosure...

Where doth one find a good method for this? Any recommended books?

It's not so common anymore to see but I tell you what the number of times people asked me if I was gonna pull a rabbit out of my hat... everyone knows about the trick but we never see it...

Any good videos of magicians preforming it as well?

Alan Shaxon's method in his book 'The Sophisticated Sorcerer' by Alan Shaxon, Scott Penrose, and Stephen Short is good.

Johnny Ace Palmer performs the rabbit from the hat , using a very similar method as the Alan Shaxon method.
