Collapsible Top Hats are for All Festivities and Parties!! Including New Years!!

Please note: The Spring Mechanism on a Collapsible Hat is comprised of 4 steel springs
attached to 2 steel ovals. The ovals form the Top of the crown and the opening for the head.
These are fixed in size and cannot be altered to make a hat larger or smaller.
I list the size in inches and centimeteres and also a picture using a Hat Size Ring.
Because the Hat is too small or too big is no reason for a return.
Top Hats were actually meant to sit high on the head. Please see my other sales. For the Magician

Perfect for Magicians. This Tophat is in Great Condition
Perfect for the DieBox, ABC Blocks, Card Manipulation Act, Rabbit Production etc.
Most Magicians use the Tophat as either an Opener when they enter
and/or as a Prop to steal loads from(dye tubes, silk balls etc) or discard
props into(cards, silks, thumb tip, billiard balls etc).
The Tophat collapses and opens perfectly.
The Tophat adds that Bit of Elegance that you need to make your act Look Truly Professional.
Of all the effects a Magician is known for, the Tophat has become his / her trademark.
Please look at the detailed Photos and if you have any questions, please ask them.
