Hat Tear - Mouse

Here's a torn and restored paper hat routine with a popular twist. Instead of a cap or dunce cap, this hat looks like a black hat with mouse ears, that of the well known cartoon character!

Ra El Mago and Julio Abreu (El Mago Charlie) have taken a classic routine and updated it for kids who love Mickey. Watch the video to see how you can add a few details to create a routine that will last over 4 minutes, elicit lots of laughs, amaze your audience and allow you to make a magical memory for a deserving child.

The routine is based on the classic hat tearing effect. You take two pieces of black tissue paper, tear them into small pieces and crumple them into a small ball of paper. When you unfold the pieces, they are put back together and transformed into a hat with mouse ears. When you give the hat to your volunteer, you'll create a keepsake that will last a long, long time.

In each packet, you will receive enough specially prepared black tissue paper to perform the routine twelve times. Use the creators' routine in the video or make up your own. Either way, you'll love the impact you make on family and child audiences when you perform the Rabbit Ears Hat Tear trick.

Box of 12, ready to use.
