Main comic: A tuxedoed stage magician with a red bow tie and cummerbund stands before a red curtain, one hand raised in triumph while the other pulls an object from a black top hat on a purple-draped table. Instead of a rabbit, he has pulled out a small brown teddy bear. His face is shocked and he exclaims, "WHAT THE?!" A caption below reads: "This was definitely not the ace of spades." The joke layers two failed tricks at once — a magician expecting either a rabbit or a card gets a stuffed bear.

Votey (aftercomic): A loosely sketched person with curly hair comments dryly, "That's preeeetty much what rabbits look like," deadpan about the teddy bear standing in for a real rabbit.
