We suggest measuring the crown of your head with a fabric measuring tape (about 1” down from your hairline) to determine the best fit for you. Medium is our most popular size.
If she jumps onto a wall, she will wall run up it a little bit, if she is at the edge of a platform, she will automatically grab hold of it and pull herself up. Players can exchange their orbs for badges they can pin on their hats that offer up passive abilities like negating high falls off platforms or a magnet that picks up collectables when she gets close to them.
The witch is crafted with attention to detail, featuring a black cloak, a pointed hat, and a broomstick. Some designs even include LED lights for an added element of spooky ambiance. This home accent is easy to set up and can be positioned in various places, such as the front porch, living room, or even the backyard.
We hold your hat of magic
In the minds of the lay audience could there be a more quintessential effect then for a magician to produce a live rabbit from his top hat? Indeed this is the very thing they expect we are able to do.
And yet I have personally never seen it done. I have seen productions from mirror boxes, rabbit wringers, the circus wagon, and similar apparatus, but not from the top hat. Why?
When I walk into a home or school I am consistantly asked "Are you gonna pull a rabbit out of your hat?" The image is so iconic and synonomous with magic. I want to live up to my audiences expectations.
But also once the rabbit has been produced is there something magical that can happen with him. A transposition. Perhaps a vanish and reappearance. Like a "Where did the ducks go take apart vanish to a Bunny bucket re-appearance. I would like to hear your thoughts about rabbit magic. The pros and cons of working with a bunny on stage or in a living room?
Pro: For kids, nothing beats the appearances of a live cuddly bunny. Once you produce it and let them pet the rabbit, it's almost impossible to noticeably mess up the show.
Con: The bunny could dislike travel and you need to train it. You don't want rabbit droppings on the stage or in your hat.
Nothing is simpler than producing a rabbit from a hat. Just remember to keep it simple. I did this for more years than I care to recall.
Top hats - silk hats - are much smaller within than their outside appearance. The lining and stiffening take up much of the unoccupied space above the hat band where your head fits. It's a narrowing tube.
A folding opera hat is similar but without the stiffening - the hinged spokes within the lining provide the rigidity. However, an opera hat is usually waisted so narrows around the central area.
Like for like, size for size there is just a fraction more room within an opera hat rather than a silk hat. I am talking about the real, genuine article - not some theatrical prop.
From time to time over the years I have seen various prop hats produced for magicians which do not follow the classic proportions of a street wear hat - much taller and wider.
But the plain fact is a top hat of any normal looking size will only hold a small rabbit. The standard 2.25 lb weight Netherland Dwarf will just fit comfortably into a UK hat size 7. As our shoe and clothes sizing terminology varies you need to check out the American equivalent. Silk hats are worn for dressage so check out equestrian centre shops but be very careful- dressage hats are often low, squat and flat unlike traditional top hats. Look around secondhand shops - you can often find them there but the genuine thing can be very expensive.
And remember, a silk hat is rigid and needs to travel in a hat box. An opera hat folds and travels folded - use a cloth bag for travelling - but also remember you should remove it at home and keep it stored open, as you would spring goods and Botanias.
Getting a rabbit into an empty hat in front of a close-up audience of eagle eyed children is not practical. Forget wearing formal white tie and tails with a rabbit loaded into a tail, sweeping your hat off, down and behind and tipping the rabbit into the hat in the classic manner of our Victorian forefathers. You're not on a stage now!
Train the rabbit to sit in the hat on your table. You start by sitting the rabbit on your knee until it get used to you, the domestic noises of your household and the artificial situation. Some quickly settle, some don't.
Then take the rabbit out with you to shows in a confined carrier where it can't see out and leave it, behind a piece of furniture or your case or whatever. Get it used to the noises of excited children. Don't bring it out. Then you can progress to the actual production training.
Put it in the hat and cover it. I always used my egg bag over the top with a tray on that with a light weight. That way, after a few attempts to push up the weight above, the rabbit settles. In time you should be able to remove the weight and the rabbit won't notice.
My 'production' was very simple. I picked up the empty egg bag off the hat and started my routine. The rabbit stayed where it was for a few moments and then stuck its head up over the top of the hat. It always looked straight at the children. There would be a delay of a few seconds before the children noticed. Or to be exact, one observant child noticing. Then they all did! It is simply a matter of gently lifting the rabbit out of the hat which is discarded.
Don't become concerned with proving the hat empty or creating miracles. The rabbit itself is sufficient and eclipses any gilding you can think of adding. In fact, the rabbit is so strong anything which follows is an anticlimax - nothing can follow the rabbit for impact.
That's why it should be left till the end of the show. For most rabbits the hat is ideal rather than box tricks where they are less confined, more likely to move and reveal their presence. Keep it simple.
We have recently here been through the possibilities and pitfalls of subsequent vanishes and reappearances when working singlehanded. It is difficult as the vanished rabbit usually needs releasing from the prop, especially where a bag is involved. Take a look through the last couple of pages of posts - it's all there.
Still A Child At Heart
Posted: Nov 3, 2009 12:46 pmTony has hit many of the points on doing this. I would differ on how to handle the opera hat thought. I used a flat cardboard box about 1" thick. The hat just slides in.
I have only seen one guy doing this live in the 30+ years. It was done with a silk load and hat. Actually, you do not pull the rabbit from the hat. You drop the rabbit into the hat from a load bag. Or you pick up the hat, set the silks to the table and release the rabbit. I prefer the latter as it is easier to handle the rabbit. I think in the layman's mind, it still came from the hat.
With Jessica working with you, it should be easy to make the steal. There are several different load bags. One of the easiest is rings in each corner gathered up. Abbott's used to make a good bag also.
Best to Alan, Jessica and yourself.
BTW, there is a bag for sale in the sale section.
Yes, the style of a lot of vintage hats is to sit on top of your head and tilted, and you NEED things to keep them on!
Its height allows it to be seen from a distance, making it perfect for attracting attention during Halloween parties or trick-or-treating events.

1. Jane - 1 star
I am extremely disappointed with the Home accents 12 ft witch. The quality of the product is terrible and it started falling apart within a week of purchase. Not only that, but the color has faded quickly and it doesn't look as vibrant as it did in the pictures. I would not recommend this product to anyone as it is a complete waste of money.
2. Mike - 2 stars
I had high hopes for the Home accents 12 ft witch, but it failed to meet my expectations. The material used is very flimsy and it was difficult to assemble. Additionally, the witch's hat kept falling off and it was poorly designed overall. I regret purchasing this product and would advise others to look for better options.
3. Sarah - 2 stars
I purchased the Home accents 12 ft witch for Halloween decorations, but I was disappointed with its performance. The witch's arm and broomstick were poorly attached and came off easily. Moreover, the height of the witch was not as advertised and it ended up being shorter than expected. While the concept was nice, the execution fell short and I would not buy this product again.
4. David - 2 stars
The Home accents 12 ft witch was a major letdown for me. The material used is very thin and fragile, making it prone to damage. The colors have already started fading after just a few weeks of use. Additionally, the witch's hat was weak and didn't stay in place. Overall, this product is not worth the price and I would advise against purchasing it.
