Snowy is a Teno magic rabbit that I brought at Davenport many years ago [...] I use him to perform a couple of magic tricks but really he's there for the cuteness factor from very young children to grown up snowy is always a massive hit.

I use him in my family shows telling the children he's a naughty rabbit that plays tricks on me which becomes a running gag throughout the show [...] he's super cute which creates a fun tension to him being so naughty.
