Paper Hat Tear (or Paper Hat Trick or Hat Tear) is a routine in which colored pieces of paper are torn to create a hat.

A follow-up involves having the paper restored into a pair of panties and known as Hat' and Pants.

The paper tear was created by Cecil Lyle in the 1920s as part of his "Magical Milliner" act.[1]
