Types of Tricks
The types of tricks performed during hat manipulation fall into seven major categories. These are:
- Tumbles: Tricks where the hat rotates end over end (possibly over the body).
- Twiddles: Tricks in which a hat rotates quickly through the fingers.
- Spins: Tricks where the hat spins around its central axis, much like showing off with a basketball.
- Rolls: Tricks involving the hat spinning on its brim like a wheel.
- Throws: Tricks where a hat is thrown into the air.
- Comedy: Gags with the hat intended to make the audience laugh.
- Multi-hat juggling: Juggling 3 or more hats along the lines of normal juggling.

“English general and singular terms, identity, quantification, and the whole bag of ontological tricks may be correlated with elements of the native language in any of various mutually incompatible ways, each compatible with all possible linguistic data, and none preferable to another save as favored by a rationalization of the native language that is simple and natural to us.”
—Willard Van Orman Quine (b. 1908)
