Back in the 1970's, Albert Goshman took the sponge bunny trick to the max, creating the giant climax of twenty baby bunnies. He called it "Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere PROFESSIONAL". (Tenyo & Tannens contracted with Goshman to go even further with it, when they teamed up for the forty bunny "Rabbit explosion", but frankly, this twenty baby version is just as startling and impressive for lay people. And easier to manage)
"Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere Professional size" was a popular item for Goshman, and he continued producing these into the early 2000's. The package design changed in the early 1990's, to a smaller box.
This listing is for an early set from the 1980s. In addition to the larger package box, the earlier versions of this trick came with a much larger sponge "Birth control pill". Later versions still had the sponge pill, but it was much smaller. So in addition to the collectibility of the older package, you also get a much bigger pill for the added climax. The older box also features the address of Goshman's long-time residence in California, from where he also shipped out all his magic!
NOTE: the deck of cards shown in the photos is NOT included, just there to give you a quick sense of the rabbits' size
The effect is well known, in that two sponge rabbits magically jump from hand to hand, and then when put together in your hands, they do what rabbits do naturally, and have a ton of baby rabbits.
The second optional climax is when you put the two rabbits in the spectator's hands, and she opens to find that the rabbits have not multiplied -- why? because now the mama rabbit is on the pill. (And of course, the sponge pill is in the spectator's hands with the two rabbits.) The other patter line for the pill is that it's "an Aspirin, and she has a headache". :-)
There is also the one black rabbit, which the instructions say you can make a joke about if you are playing to "certain audiences" -- but I recommend you raise your magic above dumb, racially insensitive jokes, no matter who your audience is!
NOTE: The large round sponge "birth control pill" has some minor black "color transfer" on it, from being stored next to the black mini rabbit.
"Rabbits, Rabbits Everywhere" has become very hard to find now, and those still popping up for sale are almost always from the later issues, with smaller pill and package. My recent online search shows the later issue sets selling for $25, but I'll sell this older set for that same price, since the pill does have some minor black color transfer.
PLEASE READ CONDITION NOTES BELOW
CONDITION NOTES: previously owned, but in excellent condition, apparently unused. The large round sponge has some black color transfer on it, from being stored next to the black mini rabbit, but otherwise, the props are in great shape, complete (no lost babies!) and no tears or gouges in the rabbits. Instruction sheet is in excellent condition. The package box does show its age, with some creases and corner/edge wear.
