The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show: Walkthrough + All Playing Cards

As a big fan of the Rusty Lake universe, I was excited to play their latest game, The Mr. Rabbit Magic Show. A free-to-play point-and-click adventure game on Steam, it’s a tribute to a decade of Rusty Lake’s mysterious storytelling and brain-bending puzzles.

Players are challenged to complete 20 compelling acts by the mysterious Mr. Rabbit. Each act is a logic-based puzzle that tests your puzzle-solving skills in true Rusty Lake fashion. The puzzles are deceptively clever, yet simple to solve once you know the logic behind it. Whether it’s playing tricks with mirrors, solving sequences of music, or revisiting the classic Houdini act, every trick will test your intelligence.

The Mr Rabbit Magic Show Walkthrough

For players who love to hunt Easter eggs, the Mr. Rabbit Magic Show also provides secret achievements in the form of playing cards that feature characters from the Rusty Lake universe.

After fully playing all 20 acts and finding all playing cards, I have written a detailed walkthrough to help you explore the magical world of Mr. Rabbit. If you’re hung up on a specific puzzle or need to get 100% completion, this guide is meant for you!

Act 1

Click on the magician to zoom in a bit. Then, click on his hat. Click the hat once more, and a magic wand will pop out from it.

Drag the wand towards his right hand (on your left). Click on the hat again, and five colorful balloons will pop out from it.

Click on the balloons in this sequence to burst them one by one:

Balloon Trick

1. Purple

2. Green

3. Yellow

4. Pink

5. Blue

Act 2

Click on the magician to bring him into focus. Then, click on his hat to see him lower it down with a magician’s flair.

Click on his hat to bring it into focus. Click on it once more and six colorful flowers will pop out from it.

Count the number of petals on each flower and arrange them in ascending order from your left to your right.

The screenshot below shows the correct floral arrangement based on petal count:

Flower trick

Act 3

Click to bring the magician into focus. Click on his hand to your right and watch as five playing cards appear magically. Click on the playing cards to bring them into focus.

Click on each playing card on every shuffle, in the following sequence to complete the trick:

Act 4

Someone from the audience throws a crumpled piece of paper. Click on it repeatedly to move it away and only then you can start Act 4.

Hats and balls

Click on the hat. A hand holding a revolver pops out from it. Click on the top of the screen five times to shoot. Five hats belonging to five different professions drop on the floor.

Click on the magicians’ hat again to shoot and a baseball drops on the floor. Drag and drop the baseball into the striped cap. The logic is to match the items dropped on the floor with correct profession’s hat. So, a baseball should be dropped onto the baseball hat, a hammer should be dropped onto the construction worker’s hat.

Baseball – Stripped cap

Hammer – Yellow Helmet

Binoculors – Hunter’s hat

Grenade – Soldier’s helmet

Horseshoe – Cowboy’s hat

Bunny – Magician’s hat

Mr Rabbit will pop out from the hat. Click on him to end this act.

Act 5

Click on the magician. Click on his hat. Click on his hat once more, and a hand with one finger pointing upward will pop out. To solve the puzzle, count the number of fingers shown and click the wand that many times.

Wand and hand

The trick starts with a single finger—click the wand once to make the magician wave it once time. Next, a hand with two fingers will pop out of the hat. Quickly click the wand twice to match. Keep following the pattern, increasing your clicks to match the number of fingers shown. Be sure to click in the correct rhythm—any delay between two clicks, and the act won’t continue!

Act 6

Click on the tiger to bring it into focus.

1. Wait for the tiger to open its mouth wide. When it does, click and hold the magician’s hand to make him put it into his mouth.

2. Wait for the tiger to open its mouth wide and click and hold the magician’s elbow to put the hand deep into his mouth.

3. Wait for the tiger to open its mouth wide for the third time and click and hold the magician’s shoulder until he puts his entire hand inside the tiger’s mouth.

Tiger Act

Make sure you do all this whenever you see the tiger opening its mouth wide.

On the third attempt, the magician finally succeeds in pulling a cute bunny out of the tiger’s mouth. Click on the bunny to end the act.

Act 7

A fly hovers around the curtains. Click to swat it away.

In act 7, five magic cabinets or “zigzag boxes” will be displayed on the screen. Click to bring them into focus.

Magic cabinets

Click on each cabinet to see what’s inside—it’s the magician! But his body parts are all mixed up. Drag the cabinets around to put him back together and complete the trick. Make sure you drag each cabinets slightly sideways to align the parts perfectly.

Once you do this, all five magic cabinets close. Click on each cabinet again to make the magician appear….magically behind them!

Act 8

Eight Items are kept on top of a platform. Click on the platform to bring them into focus. You will have to click on the correct item. Clicking on the wrong item will put a popper underneath it and wil explode, resetting everything.

But here’s the trick. When you click on the correct item, it switches places with other items. At that time, pay attention to all other items as they may transform into something different or change color.

Shuffle the items

Click on the following items in this sequence:

1. Box with 1 Written. Notice the triangular cap changes color to blue.

2. Blue Cap. Noticed something changed in the bunch of carrots? More carrots are added, showing some change on it.

3. Bunch of carrots. The position of the blue/white vase changes a bit. It tilts upwards.

4. Vase. The star on the grey box rotates a bit.

5. Star on Gray Box. Pay attention to the candles on the cake. One candle goes missing.

6. Cake. The red hat increases in size.

7. Red Hat.

8. Finally click on the magician’s hat to complete this act.

Act 9

A mug with Bleh! wriitten on it slides in the middle. Click on it to move it aside. Click on the curtains to begin the trick.

Click on the magician. He is holding a hat, and a second hat is placed on the floor. In this trick, you will have to slingshot the bunny from hat 1 to hat 2.

Land the rabbit in the hat

To play this trick, click and hold on Hat 1, then drag your mouse downward and release to launch the bunny into the air. Aim carefully so it lands in Hat 2! The farther you drag down, the higher and faster the bunny will fly — so make sure your aim and timing are just right! Also, the quicker you release, the slower it will be launched in the air.

Do this three times to end Act 9. In all three tricks, the hat on the ground will be placed on spots.

Act 10

Click on the brown box — the same kind you’ve seen in magic shows, where magicians push swords through it. Seven swords of various sizes appear on your left side.

Pay attention to the numbers, dots and arithmetic operations ( +) and (-) on the magic box.

Sword trick

On your left, note that the third sword from the top has a red dot on it. The same dots are shown on the brown box. You will have to push swords of the right size into the four slots numbered +1, -2, +3, -1 by comparing their size with the red dot sword’s size based on the numbers.

Example: Push that sword on the o +1 slot that is one size larger than the red dot sword. You can compare each sword’s length with the red dot sword by dragging them over it. Or, simply refer to the screenshot below to see which swords goes into which slots.

Act 11

Error codes are repeated multiple times on the screen. Click on the screen to get back to the act. Next, click on the curtain to start Act 11.

The bulb puzzle is quite easy to solve.

Click on the magician’s hand to see it tilt in three directions – Inwards, positioned at right angle and outwards.

This is for the first row of bulbs. See the arm positioned at right angle? It hints at the middle bulb. Click the magic wand to light up the middle bulb. Then, click on the arm to extend it outward. Click the wand again to light up the third bulb. Now click on the hand to move it inwards and click on the wand to light up the first bulb.

Bulb trick

Click the magician’s hat to tip it downward. This will allow you to light up the second row of bulbs, else you will be stuck in the first row. Follow the same sequence as you did for the first row of bulbs.

Do the same for the third row but make sure you click on the hat first; else you will be stuck in the second row.

Note: If the bulb is already lit and you don’t adjust the arm’s position, clicking the wand will turn the bulb off.

Act 12

Mr Rabbit has a new assistant! He wants to give flowers to the bird woman, but the trick here is to only give those flowers that match with the ones that adorn her hat.

Flowers on hat

Drag and drop these flowers towards the bird woman/s hand to complete the magic trick:

Red rose bud

Blue flower

Yellow flower

Orange flower

To discard the purple, red and white flowers, just drag and drop them down.

Act 13

Six hats are placed on the floor. Click each hat to hear an audio clue revealing which animal is hiding inside. After listening to all six audio cues, match and drop the correct food that each animal loves to eats to solve the puzzle. Think carrot = Rabbit, Bone = Dog. Here’s the solution to the puzzle:

Animals and their favorite food

Hint: Lower the background music from the settings menu (gear icon) to listen to the audio cues.

Act 14

Click on the magician and then click on his hat. Click on his wand. A blue balloon pops out from the hat. Click on the blue balloon to trigger a critical error message on the screen.

“4 photos = mail inlog code”

Go back to the main smartphone screen. If you click on the mail icon, you won’t be able to access it unless you punch in the 4-digit code.

Click on the photo gallery next to the mail and pay attention to all 4 photos, their contents and their dates.

The objects shown in these four photographs can be found in the display cabinet in room 2. All these objects will help you obtain the 4-digit passcode to access your smartphone’s mail.

Here’s how to solve this puzzle:

First things first, identify the dates on all four photographs and arrange them in order from the earliest to the latest. Here’s the date-wise photo arrangement:

TL;DR The passcode to access smartphone mail is 1639.

1. Go to room 2 and click on the cabinet. Click on the yellow TV. Click on the third button. Note down the number – 1

2. Click on the black comic book on the lower right (same as the photo below). Open the comic book. Note down its page number – 6

3. Click on the set of three plushies on the top-left. There’s Harvey the pet parrot and it is positioned at number 3. The photo hint shows only Harvey, so I am guessing it’s his third position that counts as a digit.

4. The Automaton is at the bottom of the display cabinet. Click on the gear at the bottom of the Automaton to rotate it. Press and hold to keep rotating it until you see the number 9.

Go back to room 3 and access the smaprtphone mail by entering 1639.

All Playing Card Locations (Achievements)
