* The [[Post -Crisis]] version of [[Animal Superheroes|Hoppy The Marvel Bunny]] came from a dimension of [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]] linked to [[The DCU]] via a magician's top hat. The magician would then pull terrified bunny citizens out of their world by their ears. Hoppy gained his powers when a suspicious [[Shazam|Billy Batson]] investigated the hat, and said his magic word just as the magician pushed him in.
* In a 1990s [[Dork Age]] version of ''Challengers of the Unknown'', this was the first thing Ace attempted when he was reinvented as a mystic. Since one of his teammates was actually named Rocky, he even used the Bullwinkle quote.
* Played with in a [[Cattivik]] story: two rabbits (a male one and a female one) jumps out of a magician top hat, and proceed to make out. Cattivik looks inside the hat and after getting out three panels later he find out that the rabbit had a lot of babies meanwhile.
Line 119:
* The [[Bump in The Night]] episode "Hocus Dopus" involved Bumpy trying to perform this trick in order to cheer up a sick Squishy.
* Zatanna plays with this in an episode of ''[[Justice League]] Unlimited'' during her show. She reaches into the hat, wondering aloud where "[[Looney Tunes|Bugs]]" is, then suddenly, a giant hand descends from the ceiling and grabs a member of the audience. Zatanna pulls the man (now tiny, of course) out of her hat, then turns him back to normal.
* In the ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic (Animation)|My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic]]'' episode "The Show Stoppers," Snips and Snails perform a variation on this trick by placing the hat on top of the rabbit and having it be replaced by a bunch of carrots. However, when the time comes, the carrots fail to appear, due to Snails getting the munchies.
* The [[Rankin Bass]] version of ''[[Frosty the Snowman]]'' had the evil magician trying to pull Hocus Pocus out of his hat. At first, he isn't there, then he jumps off and runs off with the hat, leading to it being found and put on Frosty. The rest of the show is the magician trying to chase down Frosty, the kids and Hocus and get the hat back from Frosty.
* In one episode of ''[[Cat Dog]],'' it's inverted (and lampshaded) when Rancid Rabbit pulls a ''magician'' out of a hat.
