Running gag featured in the classic Rocky and Bullwinkle cartoons where our hero, Bullwinkle, occasionally attempts this old stage magician's trick. Unfortunately, instead of extracting a rabbit, the big, goofy moose usually dragged out a lion or other ferocious beast.
Rocky: Again?? That trick never works.
Bullwinkle: This time for sure.
Lion: ROARRRR!!
Rocky: Wrong hat!
Bullwinkle: I take a size seven and a half.
Bullwinkle: Guess I don't know my own strength.
Rocky: Now here's something you'll really like.
