Hat Tears (Bonnet) by Dan Tong

Here’s a trick that’s easy to do, fun to perform and loved by audiences of all ages. You show two pieces of brightly colored tissue paper. You rip them to shreds. Next, you roll the pieces into a ball and place it into your helper’s hand. After some humorous by-play, your helper opens her hand and discovers the pieces have magically changed into a large paper bonnet with a flower on the side! You place the hat on your helper’s head, to a big round of applause!

Professional close-up and stage magicians, clowns, MCs, and storytellers use these hat tears. Many pros use them in every show they do. Entirely self-contained.
