Hippity-Hop Rabbits is a classic comedy, sucker effect that uses two cut-out wooden figures of rabbits, on solid bases so they stand up-right, normally one white and one black. Each rabbit has a rectangular wooden cover, with a black top hat and cane design on both sides of one, and with white top hats and canes on the other.
In its presentation, the two rabbits keep changing places, upon the performer's command, while under their respective covers. At its finale, the effect culminates with a surprise, sucker-effect finish.
Petri & Lewis produced attractive wooden sets of the Hippity-Hop Rabbits apparatus, and Aldini provided a variation on the routines and patter for the effect.
Modern sets for Hippity-Hop Rabbits may use plastic or other non-wooden rabbits and covers, in place of the wooden apparatus of the older versions.
