Cake Baked in a Hat
From Magicpedia, the free online encyclopedia for magicians by magicians.
Cake Baked in a Hat is a comedy routine in which the magician pours ingredients into a hat, usually borrowed, and produces a real cake.
It was a pet effect of Al Baker.[1]
This was a popular effect among magicians as early as 1749. A French magician, Delisle magically cooked an omelette in a hat.[2] A Hyman Saunders produced pancakes during his tour of Jamaica in 1775.[3] Secret Ways of Al Baker by Todd Karr (2003)</ref>
