The most elaborately designed you will likely ever see and this one carries the brass plate on its underside with the Sheppard name.

A live rabbit is placed inside and seen through the openings in front of the chest. The magician places a panel in the chest hiding the rabbit from view momentarily and a metal sword is pushed through the middle of the chest!

The panel is slowly removed and handed to an assistant showing the sword inside the chest but no rabbit. The magician takes hold of the handle of the sword and extended portion of the sword blade and picks up the chest and then allowed to spin between the hands using the sword as the pivot.

The audience is under the assumption that the rabbit is hidden behind the panel the assistant is holding but this is turned over showing that the rabbit has completely vanished!

Unavailable for many years this piece stands 17 1/2 inches high with panel in place. This also includes a custom fitted wood case to keep it in the beautiful condition it shows. Includes illustrated instructions.

A scarce beautiful piece for the performer or collector.
