As if that was not magical enough he made a rabbit pop out of an empty wooden box. It went hopping around the stage. It was soon put back into the box and seconds later, he pulled out a rat, soft, white and squeaking. The little ones seemed a little frightened by this, while the others clapped and cheered loudly. This was the grand finale. The children did not want it to end. They shouted ‘encore’, ‘once more’. But Kim gave them a bright smile and vanished from the scene.
