Synopsis

Dignity. Poise. Mystery. We expect nothing less from the great turn-of-the century magician, Presto. But when Presto neglects to feed his rabbit one too many times, the magician finds he isn't the only one with a few tricks up his sleeves! Alec is a simple bunny. He doesn't want fame or fortune. He just wants a humble dinner. Presto, the magician, however, lives for fame and fortune and is spiteful to anyone - or any rabbit - that standing in his way. Is there anything that could make Presto appreciate his poor, suffering bunny and give him the carrot he deserves?
