I'm hopping mad over bunny bill

A MAGICIAN is hoping that for his next trick he can make a £429 council bill for having a white rabbit disappear.

Stuart Brown known as Magic Stuart says he has been using bunnies in his show for over 15 years with no complaints.

But last week, the astonished 60-year-old said he got a call from his local council telling him that he needs to pay to get a licence for his rabbit Snowy.

Stuart started doing magic as a hobby in his teens, and took it up full-time after being laid off by Toyota more than 20 years ago, turning his side-hustle into a career.
