In “The Magician’s Study,” you find tricks that are effective in any Las Vegas magic show. A little treasure box opens on its own, then a white handkerchief flies out and into an empty demijohn bottle. An audience member signs a $50 bill and hands it to the star of the show. Later, it reappears after that same audience member cracks open a walnut.
The magician places coins under playing cards on a black felt. Those coins move around the table, under different cards and seemingly on their own. The crowd gasps, calls out “No way,” and laughs in disbelief.
There is a unique magic, too, as the magician — known in public only as The Rabbit — deftly engages his audience. His sleight of hand is heightened by his sly asides. Similar to an Olympic slalom skier, the star serpentines around his guests, never knowing what they might call out.
