Comments (magicref): 3D rabbits is a sponge routine that includes 3 adults and 5 baby rabbits. The sponge is soft and the rabbits are sculpted in three dimensions. The photo on the box shows the rabbits in white and red; the product I purchased were white and brown. My sons (ages 7 and 5) looked at the box and asked if the rabbits magically changed color! Note: A large "surprise" rabbit is also available seperately. The rabbits are not as detailed as the George Murray 3D rabbits, but the sponge used is much softer, more like standard Goshman sponges. Also on the market are the Mike Rogers bunnies, which are also well made and with a more traditional 2 dimensional look. The instructions are by Michael Ammar of Ammarmagic, and follow the pattern of his excellent "Complete Cups and Balls" book in using clear black and white photos to display all the actions. There are 4 'pages' on one 8.5x11" sheet. Although a couple of small details are left out, most readers (including beginners) should be able to understand the routines.
