Sandbox / Rabbit Magician Wick Check

Here a wick check will be performed for Rabbit Magician.

Why?: While Rabbit Magician might be tropeworthy, given the Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat trope and the historical portrayal of rabbits as tricksters, the trope is suspected of attracting usage for any rabbit who happens to be a magician.

Wicks checked: 50/69

Rabbit who is a magician, the combination of which is relevant to plot or characterization (11/69)

1. Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat (in description): Another mutation is the Rabbit Magician, who may use the hat as a gate to its burrow or other domicile. Describes how the rabbit being a magician is relevant to their characterization.
2. Analysis.Animal Occupation Stereotypes: Magic users, such as wizards and witches, as well as stage magicians due to the Pull a Rabbit out of My Hat trick. Describes relevancy of the connection.
3. Analysis.Animal Stereotypes: Hares and Rabbits: Often depicted as comical, sweet, innocent, and cuddly, but can also be cunning tricksters for the purposes of self-defense. Independent and a little mysterious, even magical, particularly in older folklore. They're very agile runners, and can reproduce very quickly. Due to Bugs Bunny, they're often seen eating carrots. Since magicians pull rabbits out of hats, the rabbits might know a little magic of their own. Rarely though, they can be a terror to be reckoned with. Context provided by two potholes is close enough.
4. Anime.Alices Adventures In Wonderland JP: Benny Bunny was a magician's assistant before the late-man's hat came into Alice's possession. Relevant connection between rabbit and magician.
5. Characters.Clay Fighter: In addition to the great physical strength from talking to his muscles and the cybernetic enhancements given to him, T-Hoppy is also an accomplished stage magician. This is seen in a couple of his Claytalities in which he converts his opponent into a carrot (and then eats it) or a clone of himself (with a heated chat that ends with the real T-Hoppy filling the clone with bullets). Rabbit and magician combo are relevant to characterization.
6. Characters.Faux Pas: Used to be owned by a magician and has picked up some tricks, occasionally suggested to be actual magic. Rabbit/magician combo relevant to characterization.
7. Recap.Tiny Toon Adventures S 1 E 20 You Asked For It: Buster gets a job as a rabbit for a magician who performs at Montana Max's birthday party. When Monty causes the magician to quit, Buster takes over for the magician and performs a magic act on Monty as revenge. Rabbit/magician combo relevant to plot.
8. Characters.Learning With Manga FGO: Stage Magician: Her bio notes her to be one, explaining that her skill with illusions helped her with being a filmmaker. Visually, she also invokes the Lovely Assistant and the Rabbit Magician aspects of this trope. Rabbit/magician combo seems to be relevant to characterization.
9. Characters.Rise Of The Guardians: Like the other Guardians, Bunny is proficient in a number of magical skills unique to himself, including the generation of magical rabbit holes and command of egg-based golems, gaining strength from the collective belief people have in the Easter Bunny. Rabbit/magician combo relevant to characterization.
10. DragonBall.Tropes O To Z: Carrot Master's primary magical power is to turn people he touches into carrots. He turns Bulma into a carrot and threatens to eat her until Yamcha, with the help of Puar, snatches her out of his grip, giving Goku the opening to kick his ass and force him to change her back before sending him to the moon. Judging by the carrot theming, the rabbit-magician combo is definitely relevant to characterization.
11. LooneyTunes.Tropes P To R:
    • "Hocus Pocus" features one of the earliest appearances of Happy Hare, the character that would eventually become Bugs Bunny. Here, he's a magician's rabbit who demonstrates Reality Warper powers as he bedevils two dogs who wander into the magician's home.
    • Bugs himself often does magic tricks, sometimes mentioning that he used to work for a magician. On at least two occasions ("Hot Crossed Bunny" and "The Case of the Missing Rabbit") he pulls himself out of a hat. Rabbit/magician combo relevant to plot and characterization.

JustForFun.Trope Names For A Band: A one-man Industrial Metal group/Performance Artist that forgoes the usual Cyberpunk/political edge of the genre and instead favors Post-Modern Magik/Urban Fantasy, doing high-octane acts of prestidigitation on-stage while the instrumentals play in the background, said tricks usually involving an ironic twist to them (Saw a Woman in Half with blood and live doves coming out of the two halves, getting pulled through the hat instead of pulling a rabbit out, etc). JFF joke example that deliberately isn't the trope. Unclassifiable.
