Magic with Hats: Recommended Tricks for Parties and Performances (21–30)
Chicken and egg
It’s a magic trick where you fold a handkerchief in half and produce eggs from inside it, one by one.
Performed together with a top hat, the atmosphere is perfect.
Each egg can be placed into the hat, one at a time, as many times as you like.
Producing lots of mysterious eggs is sure to capture the audience’s attention.
How to pull a rabbit out of a hat
The classic magic trick of pulling a real white rabbit out of a top hat.
Surprisingly, the rabbit is placed in a pitch-black bag and hooked onto the side of the desk.
When lifting the hat, the magician secretly slips the whole bag—with the rabbit—into the hat so it can’t be seen.
Crystal hat
This is a magic trick using a transparent hat, like one made of acrylic.
When you cover the hat with two silks, a large number of fake flowers appear from inside! And beneath the fake flowers are colorful silks that are all connected, and the way they flutter down is truly spectacular.
Transforming Paper Santa
This is a magic trick recommended for Christmas.
Tear up red and white paper, roll the pieces into a ball, and—voilà—a paper Santa hat appears! Place the Santa hat on a spectator’s head.
It’s delightful to see tiny scraps transform into a splendid hat.
Kids are sure to love it.
Space Travel with a Top Hat
Let me introduce a show that uses magic props you can buy at big discount stores.
Place four small top hats on a desk and, while covering them with your hand, instantly move a hat on the count of one, two, three—just like magic.
The method is explained in the instructions that come with the magic props.
Be sure to master it and show it off!
Magic with eggs
A magic act that uses lots of bags, egg stands, and cloths.
The magician makes an egg appear from a cloth bag and swaps it with a cloth between the right hand and left.
The most impressive trick is putting a raw egg, after stirring it, into a paper hat and wearing it without getting dirty at all.
It takes a bit of courage to perform, but it has such a strong impact that audiences are likely to love it.
In conclusion
We’ve introduced a wide range of tricks, including ones you can do with a hat you already use and magic that utilizes commercially available kits.
In any case, hats are a classic item for magicians.
These are all tricks worth knowing to expand your repertoire!
