Hi everyone,

I have seen Jay from Penguinmagic.co.uk perform a hat through arm (on a demo CD-ROM). I can't remember the effect, so I suppose I shall have to explain it.

Jay takes his hat off his head, and then puts his arm into the hat past his elbow - yet the size of the hat is that equivalent to a bowler hat.

Does anyone know how to do this or have any information that can help me with it?

Cheers,


Chris

You can find it on Jim Pace's "Visu-Antics" DVD, simply called "Hat Trick."

Yup, Jim Pace uses it in Visu-Antics. He does it in a comical way so it's more convincing and fun to do.

Sylvester the Jester does it too.

Thanks everyone. By the way, where can I find Sylvester the Jester doing this move? And what's it called? Cheers


Chris

P.S: The link for Jim Pace performing the "Hat Trick" at Penguin Magic - http://www.penguinmagic.com/europe/product.php?ID=529

I think that move is in it..

It looks really goooood, and David Williamson is awesome with it too.

Where did you have the chance to see David Williamson do this move, sleightofhand1? Please?

On one of his videos he does it.

Do you know which video?

Chris



Thanks for the help dynamiteassasin, but Sylvester the Jester does not perform this move on there - this is the Sylvester Pitch and other coin sleights (by the way, you can find the Sylvester Pitch on the 'On the Spot' DVD by Greg Wilson).

It was Sylvester's promo video.

Get Jim Pace's Visu-Antics DVD.
Full of surprises and it has the arm into hat gag.
Highly recommended!
Best of luck,

Also a good source of goofy hat behavior. (And no, it's not my web site.)

Thanks for the weblink mplegare!

Is the move a simple move or do you really need a video to learn it? Just curious
