Walter Sheppard Appearing Rabbit

Premium Magic Apparatus & Highly Collectible

If you’re not already familiar with Walter Sheppard’s magic props, then you’re in for quite the opportunity with this Walter Sheppard Appearing Rabbit. 

Walt Sheppard magic effects are very rare to find and extremely collectible. His attention to detail and extreme multi-layering of paint applied to his effects is second to none. Quality that will last a very long time and workmanship you’ll be impressed with.

Here is the classic balloon to rabbit effect. A cage is shown to be empty and then a balloon is placed across the cage through the small doors located on each side. In an instant the balloon pops and a bunny or other small animal magically appears.

Pictures provided include multiple angles of this prop for you to understand the visual condition. I believe you’ll find this prop in very collectible condition (review pictures) with minimal imperfections, but also performance ready.

The actual item pictured is what you’ll receive including a copy of the instructions.

Condition Disclosure for Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic Apparatus

PHOTOS

Please review all listing photos carefully, as they are an important part of the item description. The photos are intended to show the overall visual condition of the apparatus, including possible imperfections, paint quality, decals if applicable, shelf wear, performance wear, and age-related characteristics.

LABELS

MagicTrickCollection.com does not rely on broad condition labels such as “good,” “very good,” “excellent,” or “mint” for vintage and antique magic effects. These terms can be subjective and may mean different things to different collectors. Instead, we believe clear photos from multiple angles provide the most accurate way to evaluate condition without revealing the working secrets of the effect.

OLD VERSUS NEW

Items listed under Rare & Vintage Collectible Magic may range from 10 to 100 years old or more. These are not new magic props. They may show signs of age, handling, storage, repairs, fragility, paint loss, decal wear, or prior performance use.

If your intent is to perform with the item, please understand that some vintage apparatus may require careful handling, adjustment, and practice. This disclosure is provided to help ensure buyers understand they are purchasing a vintage collectible magic item with age, history, and character—not a newly manufactured prop.
