Rabbits are popular for this trick over other small animals (like, say, a cat) because they're better at sitting still for long periods of time. However, it should be noted that despite how it's commonly depicted, lifting a rabbit by its ears is very painful and could permanently injure them. It's also likely to ruin the act if they freak out. Normally they put the hand under the rabbit's belly. |

** On a sidenote: you do the trick by {{spoiler|hiding the rabbit under a false lining, so that you can show the audience there's nothing in the hat before pulling the rabbit out. Why rabbits? Because they sit still enough to keep the lining from shifting and giving it away.}} |
